Chris Young has been cleared of all charges stemming from his arrest at a bar in Nashville earlier this week.
The Nashville District Attorney’s Office announced Friday that all charges against the country star will be dropped “after a review of all the evidence in this case.” The thorough review of evidence included security camera footage , which showed Young place his hand on the shoulder of a TennesseeAlcoholic Beverage Commission agent, who then shoved him into a table. Young could be seen on video falling backwards.
In a statement, Young’s attorney, Bill Ramsey said, “Mr. Young and I are gratified with the DA’s decision clearing him of the charges and any wrongdoing.”
Young was arrested on Jan. 22 for disorderly conduct after the “Famous Friends” singer was accused by ABC agents of creating a “hazardous or physically offensive condition by an act that served no legitimate purpose.”
According to a court document obtained by ET, the agents stated they were performing acompliance check around 8:30 p.m. at Tin Roof in Midtown Nashville where Young was seated at the bar. After providing his identification to agents, Young was accused of asking questions and video recording the encounter. Special Agent Joseph T. Phillips claimed that Young’s ID was returned to him, his questions were answered, the compliance check was completed, and agents moved on to another bar, Dawg House, next door.
