Country music star Morgan Wallen was in court Thursday when he pleaded guilty to throwing a chair from a six-story rooftop bar in Nashville earlier this year.
He was arrested in April after the incident at fellow country singer Eric Church's bar, Chief's, in Nashville's popular Broadway district.
An arrest affidavit said the chair Wallen threw landed about 3 feet (1 meter) from officers, who talked to witnesses and reviewed security footage.
Witnesses told officers that they watched Wallen pick up a chair, throw it over the roof and laugh about it.
I never will make an excuse,” Wallen told Billboard in an interview two years after the controversy that nearly derailed his career.
