Chris Young's Attorney Calls for Action After Nashville Bar Arrest

Chris Young's attorney is calling for action after the country star was arrested at a Nashville bar earlier this week.

The incident took place Monday and resulted in the singer, 38, being arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, assaulting an officer and resisting arrest following an altercation at DawgHouse Saloon, according to People.

Video obtained by the outlet shows a Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission agent shove Young before he was taken into custody.

"What happened to my client Chris Young at a bar in Nashville on Monday night was wrong and he never should have been arrested and charged in the first place," Young's attorney, Bill Ramsey, told People in a statement.

"In light of the video evidence, Tennessee ABC needs to drop the charges and apologize for the physical, emotional and professional harm done towards my client," he added.

The video shows Young reaching out to the TABC agent, who responds by pushing him, causing him to stumble and fall backward over a table and chair. Young then stands up, raises his hands, and steps back. He was arrested shortly thereafter.

According to the arrest affidavit obtained by People, Young initially spoke with TABC agents at the Tin Roof bar. Officers checked his ID and then examined the establishment's ABC cards. It was during this inspection that Young began recording the encounter.

Following their interaction at the Tin Roof bar, the agents proceeded to the adjacent DawgHouse Saloon. Young and several friends reportedly followed, engaging with the staff.

As the TABC agents attempted to leave, Young reached out and "struck" one of them on the shoulder, according to the affidavit,

The agent, unaware of Young's identity, then reportedly pushed the singer away, prompting another bar patron to intervene. According to the affidavit, the singer then "began yelling and screaming" and refusing to follow the directions of an agent speaking to him.

The video obtained by People allegedly shows the singer calmly requesting clarification before being apprehended.

After his arrest, Young was taken into custody and subsequently released on bonds of $250 for disorderly conduct, $1,000 for resisting arrest, and $1,250 for assault.

His court appearance is scheduled for Feb. 16.
