Morgan Wallen Pleads Guilty Reckless Endangerment Nashville Arrest

Country singer Morgan Wallen was arrested in April 2024 after he threw a chair off the sixth-story rooftop of Eric Church's bar in Nashville, which landed near police officers. Newly released police footage shows Wallen in the back of a patrol car reacting with amusement when his own song, a collaboration with Thomas Rhett, plays on the radio, highlighting their camaraderie despite the arrest. Wallen initially denied involvement but later pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor charges of reckless endangerment, receiving a sentence that included seven days in a DUI education center, two years of probation, and a fine. He publicly accepted responsibility for the incident, expressing respect for law enforcement and maintaining that his tour would continue unaffected. The charges were initially felonies but were reduced as part of a plea deal, and Wallen cooperated fully with authorities, apologizing to those involved. The incident and subsequent legal proceedings have drawn significant public and media attention, with some fans noting the irony of Wallen's comments about Rhett not getting arrested.
