Country star Morgan Wallen has been sentenced to two years probation after throwing a chair from the roof of a Tennessee bar.

The I Had Some Help singer will also have to spend seven days in a recovery center for driving under the influence after pleading guilty to two counts of reckless endangerment.

The 31-year-old was arrested after throwing a chair from the roof of the six-story Chief’s Bar, owned by fellow country artist Eric Church, on April 7 this year. The headquarters shifted to Broadway – a major thoroughfare of bars and music venues in the heart of Nashville.

Wallen is best known for his chart-topping song Last Night from his award-winning album One Thing at a Time and his early success on the NBC show The Voice.

The chair-throwing incident occurred as Chief’s celebrated its opening weekend.

A day later, Mr. Wallen was taken to prison and subsequently released.

He apologized for the incident on social media.

“I have been in contact with Nashville law enforcement, my family and the good people at Chief,” he wrote on social media.

“I am not proud of my behavior and I take responsibility.”

It wasn’t Wallen’s first brush with the law.

He was previously arrested in May 2020 for public drunkenness and disorderly conduct outside Kid Rock’s honky-tonk bar in the entertainment district, The Tennessean newspaper reported.

In 2021, he made headlines after he was caught on video shouting a racial slur outside his home in Tennessee.

The incident resulted in losing his record deal. He was banned from country radio stations and banned from the Country Music Awards for three years.

Wallen later apologized for his actions. “There is no excuse. I never made an excuse. “I will never make an apology,” he told Billboard Magazine in an interview.

Despite these controversies, he was named Entertainer of the Year at the CMA Awards last month.
