Morgan Wallen Breaks Silence on Latest Arrest: 'I'm Not Proud of My Behavior and I Accept Responsibility'

The country star was arrested on April 7 after allegedly throwing a chair off of a six-story Nashville bar

Morgan Wallen is speaking out after his latest arrest.

On April 7, the country star, 30, was arrested on three felony charges after allegedly throwing a chair off the roof of a Nashville bar, according to a statement shared by the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department on X (formerly Twitter).

In a statement shared Friday, April 19, Wallen addressed his arrest in a statement posted to his Twitter account.

"I didn't feel right publicly checking in until I made amends with some folks. I’ve touched base with Nashville law enforcement, my family, and the good people at Chief’s. I'm not proud of my behavior, and I accept responsibility," he wrote. "I have the utmost respect for the officers working every day to keep us all safe. Regarding my tour, there will be no change."

The “Last Night” singer’s arrest came days after he kicked off the 2024 leg of his One Night at a Time World Tour earlier this month. He is back on the road Saturday, April 20 in Oxford, Mississippi.

Two officers were standing in front of Chief's Bar, a six-story bar-restaurant on Broadway, at the time of the incident, and watched the chair fall from the rooftop to street level, Nashville police said.

Wallen was subsequently arrested and charged with three counts of reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct, according to court records obtained by PEOPLE.

He faced a $15,250 bond, and is due in Nashville court on May 3 for "settlement."

Several eyewitnesses saw Wallen pick up a chair and throw it over the rooftop's edge, local outlet WKRN reported. He was also seen "laughing afterward,” per the witnesses.

Video footage reviewed by police also showed the "Last Night" singer throwing an object off the roof of Chief's, which is owned by country singer Eric Church and opened its doors just two days prior to the incident.

At the time of Wallen's arrest, his attorney, Worrick Robinson, provided a statement to PEOPLE, stating that the star is "cooperating" with police.

“At 10:53p Sunday evening Morgan Wallen was arrested in downtown Nashville for reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct," the statement reads. "He is cooperating fully with authorities.”

Following the ordeal, a source told PEOPLE Wallen wasn't expected at Chief's and didn't spend much time at the bar before allegedly throwing the chair. The insider added that most patrons and staff members weren't immediately aware of what happened.

"Morgan is generally a nice, fun person to hang out with, but when he gets going he doesn't know when to stop," a source told PEOPLE. "Morgan and alcohol is a problem and it's been a problem that keeps coming back around."

He is due to be back in Nashville on May 2 and 3, his scheduled court date, for shows at Nissan Stadium shortly after headlining performance at Stagecoach music festival.
