Share this @internewscast.com

Slurring Morgan Wallen denied to police that he chucked a chair off the roof of a Nashville bar in newly-released footage from the ugly April 2024 incident which he later pled guilty to.

The country music star was arrested for throwing a chair off the sixth-story roof of fellow musician Eric Church’s bar Chiefs as it landed on the street next to a group of cops.

Now body cam footage has revealed Wallen’s shocking five-word response to law enforcement pressing him over the matter.

The musician sat in the back of a police cruiser as he insisted on his innocence by telling them: ‘I ain’t done nothing wrong.’ 

Earlier in the clip, Wallen took no accountability for the incident as one of the police officers asked him what happened to which he responded: ‘I don’t know.’

Another person could later be seen saying, ‘He’s the one that threw the chair,’ when another person insisted that the music superstar had nothing to do with it.

One of the cops responds by telling him that all they are trying to do is figure out what had occurred.

Wallen replied: ‘As you should.’ 

Back in December 2024, the Cowgirls hitmaker smirked in court as he pled guilty after the aforementioned April 2024 incident where he threw a chair off the roof of a Nashville bar.

The country megastar pled guilty to two misdemeanor counts of reckless endangerment in a Nashville, Tennessee court on Thursday seven months after waiving his first court appearance.

The counts were reduced from the three Class E felonies he was initially charged with eight months ago.

Wallen was also sentenced to incarceration for seven days in a DUI education center before proceeding to be on supervised probation for two years.

He certainly cleaned up for the court appearance at the time as he sported a short haircut and was clean-shaven other than his mustache.

The Last Night hitmaker donned a grey blazer over all-black including dress shirt, jeans, and leather belt. 

During the 10 minute court appearance, Judge Cynthia Chappell asked how Wallen pleaded to which he replied: ‘Conditionally guilty.’

Wallen’s attorney Worrick Robinson appeared alongside the star as he issued a statement after the proceedings which stated that this ‘will not result in a conviction’ as long as Wallen adheres to all provisions.

According to The Tennesseean at the time, Robinson’s statement said: ‘Upon the successful completion of his probation, the charges will be eligible for dismissal and expungement.

‘Mr. Wallen has cooperated fully with authorities throughout these last eight months, directly communicating and apologizing to all involved. Mr. Wallen remains committed to making a positive impact through his music and foundation.’

In addition to the two misdemeanor counts, Wallen will also have to pay a $350 fine and court fees.

Back in April, Wallen spoke out publicly for the first time since he was arrested in Nashville for allegedly throwing a chair off the roof of a bar earlier this month.

On April 19, 2024, the country singer broke his silence, issuing a statement on X (formerly Twitter) and adding that his ongoing tour will continue as planned despite the charges.

This comes after he was arrested on three felony counts of reckless endangerment and one misdemeanor charge on April 7, 2024, according to a statement shared by the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department on X (formerly Twitter) earlier that month.

‘I didn’t feel right public checking in until I made amends with some folks,’ he wrote before adding that he had reached out to ‘the good people’ at fellow country artist Eric Church’s bar — where the alleged incident occurred.

‘I’ve touched base with Nashville law enforcement, my family, and the good people at Chief’s,’ he continued.  ‘I’m not proud of my behavior, and I accept responsibility.’

In continuation of the tweet, he added: ‘I have the utmost respect for the officers working every day to keep us all safe.’

At the time he also addressed his One Night At A Time Tour, which he kicked off in Indianapolis, Indiana earlier that month on April 4, 2024, he said that there would be no postponements nor cancellations even as he prepares to return to Nashville to perform.

‘Regarding my tour, there will be no change,’ he explained before signing off with just his initials.

It was previously reported that he could face a lengthy prison sentence after the incident.

An arrest affidavit said the chair landed about three feet from officers, who talked to witnesses and reviewed security footage. 

Witnesses told officers that they watched Wallen pick up a chair, throw it over the roof and laugh about it. 

Wallen, who was released after posting a $15,000 bond, is potentially looking at six years behind bars, one legal expert told Fox News. 

‘The felony charges are the most serious ones and could land Wallen in jail for up to six years if he is prosecuted and convicted of those charges,’ former New York prosecutor Rither Alabre told the network. 

‘The reckless endangerment counts could have been charged as misdemeanors, which would have made them less serious and exposed Wallen to a maximum of up to 11 months and 29 days in jail,’ he added.

The incident led to allegations that Wallen was distraught after learning that his former fiancee, KT Smith, had secretly eloped.

‘A reckless endangerment count can be charged as a class E felony if the alleged act was committed with a deadly weapon,’ Alabre continued, noting the police claim that the chair landed close to officers and other revelers. 

‘For the charges of reckless endangerment, Wallen is facing not less than one year nor more than six years in prison.’

‘It appears unlikely that the charges would be completely dismissed against Wallen because, according to some reports, the police reviewed video showing Wallen “lunging and throwing an object over the roof” and some witnesses claimed that they saw him throwing the chair,’ Alabre added. 

‘Given those allegations, the next steps would be for Wallen’s lawyer to engage with prosecutors and try to resolve this matter with a plea to a lesser charge, either a misdemeanor or even possibly a lower charge where he would face little to no jail time,’ the attorney went on. 

Back in April 2024 at the time of the incident, fellow country star John Rich took to Twitter with some advice for Wallen. 

‘I can’t help but recall all the destructive, crazy things I did early on in my career,’ Rich, who is one half of the duo Big & Rich, wrote. 

‘The combo of intense pressure, expectations and over the top success is a dangerous cocktail.’

‘Thank God I had great mentors who helped guide me out of that mindset, and I hope Morgan has some people around him who care about him enough to help him find a new approach to life,’ Rich wrote.

‘It takes a lifetime to build what he’s built, and one second to destroy it all. I’m rooting for him to turn it around,’ he concluded.

Wallen was spotted after posting bond

A fan responded to the original message saying: ‘Fame makes some insane. Something is going on in his life. Surrounded by yes, friends don’t help.’

‘It can be toxic,’ Rich replied.  

Wallen’s attorney, Worrick Robinson, confirmed the arrest at the time and said the singer was cooperating fully with authorities. He was released from custody, and had a court date scheduled May 3, 2024.  

Wallen is one of the biggest names in contemporary country. His third studio album, 2023’s One Thing at a Time, was the most-consumed album in the U.S. that year. 

It spent 16 weeks at the top of the Billboard 200 in 2023 — which meant he held the top spot for 30 percent of the year, more time at No. 1 than any other album since Adele’s 21 dominated over a decade ago. 

It included several top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100: Last Night, You Proof, Thinkin’ Bout Me, Thought You Should Know and Don’t Think Jesus

In 2021, the country singer was suspended indefinitely from his label and saw his music pulled by radio stations and streaming services after video surfaced of him shouting a racial slur. 

As a result, he was disqualified or limited from several award shows and received no Grammy nominations for his bestselling Dangerous: The Double Album.

In 2020, he was arrested on public intoxication and disorderly conduct charges after being kicked out of Kid Rock’s bar in downtown Nashville. 

At the time, Wallen posted on social media that he and some friends were ‘horse-playing’ after a few bar stops.

‘We didn’t mean any harm, and we want to say sorry to any bar staff or anyone that was affected,’ Wallen posted on X. ‘Thank you to the local authorities for being so professional and doing their job with class. Love y’all.’
