Country singer Chris Young was vindicated after a false arrest last month. He thanked his fans for their support with a heartfelt gesture. Keep reading for all the latest on the situation.
Security Footage Vindicates Chris Young
Country singer Chris Young was accused of putting his hands on an agent with the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission at a bar last month. Several agents were conducting a compliance check by looking at the IDs of the bar patrons.
According to PEOPLE magazine, the Tennessee native was also accused of “yelling and screaming” during his subsequent arrest.
However, security footage of the incident shows an entirely different story.
While Chris Young did interact with the agents, he didn’t appear to touch any of them. Rather, he held his hand out as if attempting to start a conversation with them.
One agent immediately shoved the singer, causing him to stumble over a table and chair. He quickly recovered after falling, but instead of yelling and screaming, he appeared to back up with his hands raised.
