Morgan Wallen Claims Innocence After Throwing Chair from Bar Roof

## New Footage of Morgan Wallen’s Incident

Recently released police footage provides new insights into **Morgan Wallen’s chair-throwing incident**, revealing his initial denial of responsibility for actions he later admitted to.

### Context of the Event

In April 2024, Wallen faced arrest after he tossed a chair from the sixth story of Eric Church’s bar, Chief’s, located in downtown Nashville. The chair landed perilously close to police officers, who, upon investigating, quickly identified Wallen as the culprit.

### Details from the Body Cam Footage

The body cam footage shared by *The Associated Press* illustrates Wallen being escorted from the bar. When asked about the situation, he responds, “I don’t know.” Meanwhile, an off-camera voice claims, “He’s the one that threw the chair,” while another insists Wallen wasn’t involved at all.

In other parts of the footage, Wallen expresses, “We’re not trying to cause no problems, man. I don’t know what they’re… I don’t know why.” One officer reassures him that they are merely trying to ascertain what transpired, to which Wallen replies, “As you should.”

### Arrest and Charges

The footage continues to show Wallen being handcuffed and placed into a police vehicle. Inside, he maintains his innocence, stating, “I ain’t done nothing wrong.”

Wallen was initially charged with three felony counts of reckless endangerment and one misdemeanor for disorderly conduct, later securing his release on a $15,250 bond. Just a week following the incident, he acknowledged his behavior, stating, “I’m not proud of my behavior, and I accept responsibility.”

### Legal Outcome

In December, Wallen appeared in court and pleaded guilty to reduced misdemeanor charges of reckless endangerment without a weapon. He received a two-year suspended sentence, which includes “seven days incarceration in a DUI education center” and two years of probation. If he complies with the terms of his probation, he may have the charges expunged from his record.
