Poinbank:Morgan Wallen ‘not proud of my behavior’ after allegedly throwing a chair off Nashville rooftop

Morgan Wallen is Poinbankbreaking his silence more than a week after he was arrested in Nashville for allegedly throwing a chair from a downtown rooftop.

"I didn't feel right publicly checking in until I made amends with some folks. I’ve touched base with Nashville law enforcement, my family, and the good people at Chief’s," he posted on X, formerly Twitter, on Friday night. "I'm not proud of my behavior, and I accept responsibility."

Wallen's statement continued in a second post: "I have the utmost respect for the officers working every day to keep us all safe. Regarding my tour, there will be no change."

Wallen, 30, was booked into jail April 8 on three counts of reckless endangerment and one count of disorderly conduct in connection to a Sunday night incident, according to the Metro Nashville Police Department.

According to an arrest affidavit obtained by USA TODAY, at 10:53 p.m. local time on April 7, two police officers were standing in front of Chief's Bar in the city's entertainment district on Lower Broadway when they saw a chair fall from above and hit the street about three feet from them.

In the affidavit, police wrote, the bar's staff members told officers Wallen threw the chair, and when officers reviewed video footage of incident, it showed him "lunging and throwing an object off the roof." Police wrote they arrested Wallen on reckless endangerment charges because two officers were in the area and the incident posed a danger to public.

Morgan Wallen's rollercoaster career:From 'The Voice' to his arrest

Chief's Bar, owned by country music singer, Eric Church, is a six-story building. No injuries were reported.

Davidson County Sheriff's Office online records show Wallen was booked into jail at 12:36 a.m. local time and released from jail around 3:30 a.m. A court official previously told USA TODAY Wallen posted a $15,250 bond.

Online court records reviewed by USA TODAY on April 8 showed Wallen is due in court next month for a settlement hearing on the charge.

Wallen kick started his career as a contestant on "The Voice" in 2014. Though he didn't win, he signed with Big Loud Records two years later. Wallen's career has had its ups and downs since his debut studio album, "If I Know Me," released in 2018.

In early 2020, he was arrested in Nashville on charges of public intoxication and disorderly conduct. After he was filmed drunkenly using a racial slur (an incident he apologized for), Wallen's record label and agency dropped him, and he later revealed he'd checked into a rehab facility for a month.

Wallen’s most recent album “One Thing at a Time” peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart and produced the Hot 100 No. 1 hit “Last Night.”
