Charges Against Chris Young Dropped After Nashville Bar Arrest


Young’s attorney Bill Ramsey said via a statement on Friday (Jan. 26), “Mr. Young and I are gratified with the DA’s decision clearing him of the charges and any wrong-doing.”

Nashville District Attorney Glenn Funk issued a statement on Friday (Jan. 26), stating, “Regarding the Chris Young incident–After a review of all the evidence in this case, the Office of the District Attorney has determined that these charges will be dismissed.” The charges were dropped after a review of evidence, including security camera footage. However, video camera security footage from the Dawg House, which was obtained by Nashville’s NewsChannel 5 and shared on reporter Nick Beres’ Facebook account, showed a different story, seeming to depict an ABC agent shoving Young to the floor after he reached out to one of the agents. Chris Young performs onstage for the 2021 CMT Music Awards at Bridgestone Arena on June 09, 2021 in Nashville, Tennessee.
