Chris Young recently revealed the injuries he sustained during a confrontation with officers from the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) prior to his recent arrest. The injuries were as severe as they appeared.
The singer shared with his fans the bruises he got during an incident on Tuesday (Jan. 30), when an officer forcefully pushed him, resulting in him losing his balance and tripping over the edge of a bar. These injuries consist of two noticeable bruises: one located on the inner side of his arm and another on his lower back.
In his post, Young expresses his discomfort with the photo being too close to his spine. He shares the photo along with a clip of "Don't Stand So Close to Me," a popular song from the British rock group the Police that was released in 1980.
In the section where people can leave comments on his post, a lot of fans showed understanding and support towards Young's situation, while there were also some people who defended the actions of the officers.

However, when examining the video evidence of the incident, which includes footage from security cameras as well as recordings made by other bar-goers, it becomes evident that the situation unfolded differently than initially described. In the footage, Young can be seen acting respectfully and compliantly with the officers during his arrest. It appears that he only lightly touched one of the officers before being forcefully pushed backwards and ultimately sent over the bar.
The charges against the singer were dismissed, and Young later showed off to those who criticized his decision to touch the officer.
Now that all the accusations against Young have been dropped, he can put the incident behind him, at least in the eyes of the law. He will probably focus on promoting his upcoming album, Young Love & Saturday Nights, set to be released on March 22.
