Morgan Wallen was arrested in Nashville over the Memorial Day Weekend. On Saturday, May 23, 2020, Wallen was booked on charges of public intoxication and disorderly conduct.
The country music star was thrown out of Kid Rock's Honky Tonk in downtown Nashville around 11:00PM. Shortly after he was placed in handcuffs by the Nashville PD. He had reportedly kicked glass items around inside the bar before he was escorted out by security. According to the officers, Wallen had a strong smell of alcohol on him and appeared to be a danger to himself and others. This prompted the police to arrest him for "being intoxicated in public, unable to take care of himself, and the reasonable likelihood the offense would continue."
Wallen was later released on bond of $500.
Morgan took to Twitter on Sunday to apologize for the incident. He said he and his friends "were horse-playing around" that was preceded by "a couple bar stops." He apologized to the bar staff and thanked "local authorities for being so professional and doing their job with class.” He finished with “Love y’all.”
