Before his arrest on Friday, Wallen had a show in Indianapolis, where he joked about performing the first sold-out show of the stadium until Taylor Swift performs in November. After hearing Swift’s name, his audience started to boo. Wallen then defended Swift and asked his fans not to boo.
The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department reported that Wallen was arrested early Monday on a total of three counts of felony recklessly putting others in danger and one count of disorderly conduct. He was visiting country musician Eric Church's new bar, Chief's, when the chair collapsed near two officers on Broadway, according to authorities.
According to Wallen's arrest affidavit, video from the rooftop captured him lunging and throwing an object over the roof. Witnesses reportedly told police they were standing to the right of Wallen and observed him pick up the chair and throw it over him, laughing afterward, according to the affidavit. He was arrested at about 12:30 a.m. on Monday. His bond was set at $15,250, and he was released at about 3:30 a.m., according to online Davidson County Jail records. Meanwhile, Wallen's attorney, Worrick Robinson, told NBC News that Wallen is cooperating fully with authorities following his detention.
There's a lot to see in Nashville, but this week, a few guests are interested in visiting the pub Chief's on Broadway, where Morgan Wallen was just arrested.

Though the country star was not expected at Eric Church's recently opened Chief's on Sunday night, Wallen made himself known shortly after entering the bar, allegedly flinging a chair from the six-story-high Nashville rooftop on April 7. According to PEOPLE, the chair landed next to a police cruiser on Broadway, and authorities quickly entered the venue to catch the offender.
According to a person familiar with the matter, "Morgan is generally a nice, fun person to hang out with, but when he gets going, he doesn't know when to stop.
