Morgan Wallen's arrest in Nashville is one of the topics most talked about in the country music scene in the past few days.

Wallen, who was alleged to have thrown a chair from the rooftop to the ground in Eric Church's bar in Broadway, Nashville, has been arrested for three counts of reckless endangerment, disorderly conduct, and misdemeanor.

Morgan Wallen Chair Becomes An Unofficial Tourist Spot

According to People sources, multiple tourists have inquired about seeing the chair that Wallen allegedly threw from the six-story building at Church's bar, Chief's.

Days after the arrest, an Instagram account mimicking the chair went viral. The social media handle was @morganwallenschair, and the first photo of the account shows a police officer carrying the alleged chair that the country music superstar had thrown.

The chair has visibly bent feet, presumably dented after it fell from the top of a six-story building. The chair's design in the Instagram photo appeared identical to the chairs of the restaurant that the magazine obtained and videos on social media.

The bar has already poked fun at the incident by displaying a marquee saying, "Our Pigs Fly Our Chairs Don't," while also showing the BBQ house from which an allegedly drunk Wallen reportedly threw the chair.

Nashville lawyer David Raybin revealed that Wallen might face a maximum of six years in jail because of his felony charges.

However, Raybin shared that the chance Wallen would be sentenced to a maximum sentence is "very remote."

"I seriously doubt how he would get consecutive time," Raybin said. "It's based on prior record and extreme dangerousness of the offense: professional, criminal, sex offense. It's a pretty limited category. Generally speaking, this would not be consecutive."

Morgan Wallen Arrested in Nashville

Wallen was arrested on Apr. 7, 2024, at Eric Church's newly-opened Chief's bar in Nashville after he allegedly threw a chair from the rooftop to the ground. Unfortunately, the chair landed next to a police cruiser, and the cops headed upstairs to confront the suspect.

"At 10:53p Sunday evening Morgan Wallen was arrested in downtown Nashville for reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct," Wallen's lawyer said in a statement. "He is cooperating fully with authorities."

Wallen has since been released from a Nashville jail on Apr. 8, 2024.
