NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – Country Music Association Entertainer of the Year Morgan Wallen has reached a plea agreement for throwing a chair from the ceiling of a Broadway bar in early April.

Wallen pleaded guilty to two counts of reckless endangerment. He will serve seven days in jail at a DUI rehab center and two years of probation.

This was his first court appearance to face charges stemming from his April 7 arrest. The 31-year-old singer was arrested after he was seen throwing a chair from the top of Eric Church’s Bar Chief’s. It was the bar’s opening weekend.

The chair reportedly landed just feet away from two Metro Nashville Police Department officers who were patrolling Broadway on foot that night.

At the time of his initial arrest, Wallen was charged with three counts of reckless endangerment. On Thursday he pleaded guilty to two misdemeanors.

After serving his sentence and if he meets all the requirements of the plea deal, his record will be expunged.

“Today (12/12/24), Morgan Wallen appeared in Davidson County Circuit Court with Judge Cynthia Chappell presiding, where he entered a non-conviction conditional plea pursuant to Tennessee’s Diversion Statute. The plea agreement with prosecutors requires Mr. Wallen to spend seven days in a DUI education center, be on probation for two years – one year for each of the misdemeanor reckless endangerment charges – and pay a $350 fine and court fees. Upon successful completion of his probation, the charges can be dismissed and expunged.

Mr. Wallen has cooperated fully with authorities over the past eight months, communicating directly with and apologizing to all those involved. Mr. Wallen remains committed to making a positive impact through his music and foundation.”
