It was not a good look for Wallen, who was hit with felony charges.

Morgan Wallen found himself in a predicament on Sunday night. According to Billboard, the controversial country singer was at Eric Church's Chief's Bar in Nashville, where he was getting a bit unruly. As the story goes, he allegedly chucked a chair off a roof, which was six stories tall. Wallen found himself in trouble as there were two officers standing outside of the bar on the street below. The chair almost hit them, and they immediately sprung into action. Witnesses then made it crystal clear that Wallen was the one responsible.

These misdeeds got him "three felony counts of reckless endangerment and one misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct," as per Billboard. Although Wallen was ultimately arrested around 11 PM, he was released on $15,250 bond just a few hours later. Wallen's attorney subsequently put out a statement. “At 10:53p Sunday evening Morgan Wallen was arrested in downtown Nashville for reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct. He is cooperating fully with authorities," it read.
