NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Country singer Chris Young was arrested at a Nashville bar after an alleged altercation with Alcoholic Beverage Commission agents who were doing compliance checks, according to court documents.
Young, who was described as having having bloodshot, watery eyes and slurred speech, was arrested Monday night and charged with assaulting an officer, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, news outlets reported, citing arrest affidavits.
The agents were checking the Tin Roof when they first encountered Young sitting at a bar and checked his identification, the arrest affidavit said.
When another agent approached Young, the singer stepped back and declined to follow orders, so he was physically detained and arrested, the affidavit said.
While agents were attempting to leave, multiple people with Young started following agents, making the incident hostile, it said.
