Wallen was charged with three counts of reckless endangerment and one count of disorderly conduct.
Fox News provides more on the arrest report:
An arrest report said some Nashville police officers were standing in front of Chief’s Bar on Broadway on Sunday night with a chair fell from above, landing just feet away from them, according to WTVF. The Eric Church-backed bar just opened its doors for the first time on Friday, April 5.
Staff at the venue then told police that Wallen had tossed the chair from the sixth floor, WTVF reported, citing the police document.
The arrest report also stated that police viewed video showing Wallen “lunging and throwing an object over the roof,” according to WTVF.

What’s it going to take for people to realize that hey, maybe Morgan Wallen isn’t that great a person? a chair flying off the top of a 6 story building could’ve seriously injured someone but sure, let’s keep giving a 30 year old man passes because he makes music people like…
