Chris Young displayed his injuries from a confrontation with officers from the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) before he was arrested. The incident was just as agonizing as it appeared.
The singer revealed to his fans on Tuesday (Jan. 30) the bruises he got when an officer forcefully pushed him backwards, resulting in him losing balance and falling onto the edge of a bar. These injuries consist of two noticeable bruises: one located on the inner part of his arm, and another on his lower back.
In the caption of the photo he shared, Young expresses that the object in the photo is uncomfortably close to his spine. He accompanies his post with a snippet of "Don't Stand So Close to Me," a popular song by the British rock band the Police released in 1980.
In the section where people could leave comments on his post, a lot of Young's fans showed understanding and empathy towards his experience, but there were also some individuals who supported and justified the actions of the officers.
One person commenting questions the justification of their actions and suggests that by filing a lawsuit, the individual can play a role in preventing similar incidents from occurring to others.
One person expresses their opinion, stating that they do not believe in interfering with someone's profession and they cannot sympathize with the individual. However, they still express appreciation for the person's music.
Earlier this month, the popular actor from "Young Love & Saturday Nights" was taken into custody after causing a disturbance, refusing to comply with arrest, and physically attacking a law enforcement officer at a bar called the Dawg House in Nashville.
However, when reviewing the video footage of the incident captured by security cameras and other patrons in the bar, it becomes evident that the situation unfolded differently. Young, the individual being arrested, displayed a respectful and cooperative demeanor towards the officers. It seems that he only lightly touched one of the officers before being forcefully pushed backwards and over a bar.
The accusations against the singer were dismissed, and afterwards, Young confidently responded to those who criticized him for making contact with the officer.
After all the charges against Young have been dropped, the incident is no longer a legal concern for him. He will probably resume promoting his upcoming album, Young Love & Saturday Nights, scheduled to be released on March 22.
