Nashville District Attorney drops charges against country star Chris Young

Nashville District Attorney Glenn Funk has chosen to drop all charges against country music sensation Chris Young, just a few days after the singer’s arrest at the Dawg House Bar in Midtown. The charges included resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, and assault on an officer in connection to the incident.

The arrest unfolded during a compliance check by agents from the Alcoholic Beverage Commission at Tin Roof on Demonbreun Street. According to the arrest affidavit, Young, originally from Murfreesboro, had been cooperative during the initial ID check. However, tensions escalated when agents transitioned to the Dawg House for additional compliance checks.

The affidavit detailed that Young followed the agents, asked questions, and began recording them. As they exited Dawg House, an alleged attempt by Young to prevent an agent from leaving resulted in a physical altercation.

Contesting the accuracy of the events described in the affidavit, Young’s attorney, Bill Ramsey, released video footage of the incident, arguing that his client should never have been arrested. The footage portrayed Young reaching toward an agent, being shoved backward, losing his balance, and falling to the ground. Ramsey called for an apology from the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission, highlighting the harm caused to his client.

District Attorney Glenn Funk announced the dismissal of all charges against Chris Young on Friday evening after a thorough review of the evidence. The circumstances surrounding Young’s arrest and the subsequent dismissal have sparked interest, with conflicting accounts and video footage playing a pivotal role in shaping the narrative of the incident.
