Chris Young made headlines last week after it was reported that he was arrested after an altercation with the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission or TABC but all of his charges were dropped already. More recently, the country singer shared the injuries he sustained during that unfortunate incident.

The musician took to his official Instagram account to share the bruises the he got after an officer pushed him backwards. Unfortunately, this caused the singer fall and hit the corner of a bar.

The photo shows Young's back with two large and dark bruises which are visible on his arm and another one in the lower back.

"Waaaaaay too close to my spine," he wrote in the caption as the song "Don't Stand So Close To Me" by The Police can be heard in the background. (via Taste of Country)

The comment section was full of support by fans who urged him to sue the officers who were responsible for his injuries, but there were also users that are confused about the situation.

What Happened to Chris Young?

Young's mugshot made rounds last week after he was arrested on disorderly conduct charges after he was accused of assaulting an agent of TABC.

Initial reports state that it all began at Tin Roof in Demonbreun and when the agents entered the bar, the singer held his ID above his head and they scanned it without any problems.

However, Young later asked some questions while filming them so the agents moved to another establishment, which was the Dawg House.

As the agents attempted to leave the place, the singer allegedly "put his hands out to stop me from leaving the bar and struck me on the shoulder."

Video Footage Shows What Truly Happened; Chris Young's Charges Dropped

Video footage of inside the bar showed a completely different incident compared to what the agents stated in the affidavit.

The singer only reached out to one of the agents and he did not "struck" any of them. Young was later shoved and knocked on the floor, after standing up, he put his hands up and slowly left the scene.

In an update by USA Today, Nashville District Attorney Glenn Funk said that they already reviewed all the evidence and they determined that "these charges will be dismissed."
