Charges were dropped against country singer Chris Young on Friday, days after the two-time Grammy Award nominee was arrested at a bar in Nashville, Tennessee.
Young, 38, of Murfreesboro, known for his hits “Getting You Home,” “I’m Comin’ Over” and “Tomorrow,” was facing charges of resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and assault on an officer with the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission in connection with the incident. He was arrested at the Dawg House bar, The Tennessean reported.
Nashville District Attorney Glenn Funk announced the decision in a statement Friday evening, according to the newspaper.
“After a review of all the evidence in this case, the office of the district attorney has determined that these charges will be dismissed,” Funk said.
On Wednesday, Young’s attorney, Bill Ramsey, released surveillance video from the bar, claiming that the singer “had been shoved to the ground,” WZTV reported.
According to an arrest affidavit filed in court records early Tuesday, agents with the beverage commission were completing a compliance check around 8:30 p.m. CST at the Tin Roof when they encountered Young sitting at the bar, WSMV-TV reported.
