There was a time when the future seemed uncertain for country music star Morgan Wallen due to his chair tossing incident in Nashville earlier this year. This incident had the potential to lead to significant consequences for him. However, as it turns out, things have worked out in his favor.

Charges and Plea Agreement

Morgan Wallen ended up with a pair of misdemeanors in the incident. He pleaded guilty to these misdemeanors in Nashville late last week. According to Taste of Country, the charges were both reckless endangerment. As part of the plea agreement, he will avoid jail time. This is a big relief for his fans who have been following his case.

Initial Charges and Their Severity

Initially, Taste of Country reported that the 31-year-old was charged with three counts of felony reckless endangerment and one misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct. These felony charges were serious and could have led to a prison sentence of up to six years. The fact that he now faces only misdemeanors is a significant turn of events.

The Incident and Its Aftermath

Wallen was facing these charges after throwing a chair from the rooftop of Eric Church’s bar in Nashville. Nashville police were standing in front of Chief’s Bar on Broadway when a chair fell from the roof, six stories above, and landed just feet away from them. Staff at the bar told police that Wallen threw the chair from the sixth floor, and a review of video showed him throwing something off the roof. Witnesses also reported that Wallen was laughing after throwing the chair.

Complications and the Final Outcome

Per a report by PEOPLE Magazine, because the chair landed so close to the officers and due to Wallen’s fame, his case is complicated. Each of his felony charges “Could carry one to two years in prison,” meaning he could have faced up to six years. But instead, he won’t see any time. This is a positive outcome for both Wallen and his fans.
