Charges Against Chris Young Dropped After Review Of Evidence
The charges brought against Chris Young earlier this week after his arrest at a Nashville bar have been dropped, according to a statement from District Attorney General Glenn Funk.
Young was arrested on Monday night (Jan. 22) and charged with disorderly conduct, assaulting an officer and resisting arrest after an altercation with a Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) agent who was checking IDs at a downtown bar in Nashville. By Tuesday (Jan. 23), security video footage from the bar was released, showing that the agent initiated the physical altercation with Young.
“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.
Though the singer has been unable to comment directly on the incident, his attorney, Bill Ramsey, spoke out on Tuesday.
