Here's why American pop singer Morgan Wallen was arrested and jailed in Nashville

Pop singer and songwriter Morgan Wallen was jailed this Sunday night in Nashville following an incident of reckless endangerment when the 'Chasin' You' singer threw a chair off a six-story roof-top bar. According to Hollywood Reporter, the incident took place on Sunday and the bar was owned by one of his fellow singers Eric Church, whose songs have also ranked on Billboard's top charts.

According to Hollywood Reporter, Billboard, after the incident, acknowledged and confirmed Wallen's arrest, based on a statement of Wallen’s attorney, Worrick G. Robinson.

Wallen was arrested soon after and charged with counts of felony reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct.

Wallen later posted a bond of $15,250 and was then released from jail, says Hollywood Reporter. The report of this incident comes when Wallen is currently on his 2024 One Night at a Time tour.
