Chris Young has been found innocent and is no longer facing any charges related to the incident that occurred at a bar in Nashville on Monday night.
Glenn Funk, the District Attorney of Nashville, stated that the charges will be dropped "after thoroughly examining all the evidence related to this case."
The short explanation provided did not provide any further details, however, Young's attorney had requested for the case to be completely dismissed and for an apology to be issued after a video emerged showing Young being forcefully pushed to the ground by a TABC agent.
The singer of "Young Love & Saturday Night" is seen extending his arm towards an agent, but is forcefully pushed. Subsequently, the 38-year-old singer stumbles backwards and falls onto the bar, eventually landing on some nearby chairs.
Attorney Bill Ramsey has stated that the arrest and charges against his client, Chris Young, at a Nashville bar on Monday night were unjust and should never have taken place. This statement was provided to Taste of Country on Wednesday (Jan. 24).
Young and TABC had their initial encounter at the Tin Roof bar a short while ago. According to the agency's report, Young raised his identification above his head and cooperated with the verification process. However, later on, he returned with bloodshot and watery eyes, as mentioned in the report, and his speech was slurred.
A representative acknowledged that they encouraged Young to "put some space" between themselves and someone else. However, when a video showing the incident came out, the majority of the public supported Young's perspective.
Taste of Country was given four different camera perspectives, enabling fans to assess the extent of his aggression through the video above. Young has not made any comments regarding the incident on social media thus far.
