Chris Young arrested — charged with resisting arrest, assaulting an officer at Nashville bar
Chris Young has landed himself in the dawg house.
The country singer-songwriter was arrested at a Nashville bar Monday night and charged with disorderly conduct, assaulting an officer and resisting arrest.
Young stopped off at the Tin Roof bar in midtown Nashville at the same time agents from the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission were checking IDs and licenses, according to TMZ.
Young, 38, allegedly started peppering the agents with questions after they checked his ID — and things got out of control from there.
Officials say he recorded them and then followed them to an adjacent bar called the Dawg House, where TABC officials were conducting a routine compliance check, according to the report.
When Young was at the Dawg House, he allegedly started to talk to people at the bar and to the bartender while the TABC agents went into the back of the joint to check ABC (Restricted Brewery License) cards.
The agents claim that they were walking toward the door when Young blocked their exit and put his hands on one of the agents to stop them from leaving — and then he allegedly struck the agent on the shoulder.
According to the officials, they pushed Young away, which caused some bar patrons to get between Young and the TABC agents — causing a lot of yelling, screaming and commotion.
Young then followed the agents out of the Dawg House, according to TMZ, and the situation became “hostile.”
Officials said Young’s eyes were “bloodshot and watery” and that his speech was slurred.
He was arrested and booked on misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and assault on an officer.
Young, who posted $2,500 bond, was released from custody Tuesday morning.
He is scheduled to appear in court on Feb. 16.
Young won Season 4 of USA’s competition series “Nashville Star” in 2006 and was a contestant on the USA series “Barmageddon.”
He’s released eight studio albums and, in 2017, became a member of the vaunted Grand Ole Opry.
Young’s second album, “The Man I Want to Be,” released in 2009, spawned two No. 1 singles, “Gettin’ You Home (The Black Dress Song)” and the title track.
His third album, “Neon,” included two No. 1 songs, “Tomorrow” and “You” in 2011 and a top five hit (“I Can Take It from There”) in 2012.
He had a sixth No. 1 single with “I’m Comin’ Over” and his duet with Vince Gill on “Sober Saturday Night” hit No. 1 on the Country Airplay charts in 2016.
