Imagine hearing your own song on the radio in the back of a police car. By now we all know what happened with Morgan Wallen’s infamous chair throwing incident that occurred at Eric Church’s downtown Nashville bar, Chief’s, last year. The country music superstar was arrested and charged with three counts of felony reckless endangerment and one count of disorderly conduct after throwing a chair off the roof of the building, and later pled guilty to misdemeanor reckless endangerment in Davidson County court in December of last year. Morgan was ultimately sentenced to two years of probation and seven days in jail, to be served at a DUI education center. Luckily nobody was injured in the incident, and there’s no doubt Morgan wants to put the entire thing behind him. But unfortunately, bodycam video from the arrest was released earlier today that once again has Morgan and his chair throwing arrest in the headlines. In the video, obtained by the AP from the Metro Nashville Police Department, both Morgan and his bodyguard can be heard denying that he threw the chair from the roof: “I ain’t done nothing wrong.” He also could be heard on the video calling his buddy, and the owner of the bar, Eric Church to let him know what was going on: “Hey, these motherf–kers are trying to take me, they’re trying to take me to jail outside of your f–king bar.” Church can’t be heard on the recording, but I imagine his next question was something like, “Who?” because Morgan then replied: “The cops. I’m not sure… They’re trying to. They won’t let me leave.” But unfortunately for Morgan, officers were able to determine after watching the security camera footage that he was in fact the suspect behind the flying chair, and the country superstar was cuffed and placed in the back of the cruiser. In dashcam footage, Morgan seemed to be in decent spirits (probably thanks to some spirits…) all things considered as he was being driven to the jail, with the officer even telling the country star that he was one of their favorite artists. And as his government Uber driver took Morgan to the clink, one of the singer’s own songs came up on the cop’s Spotify playlist – which clearly excited Morgan: “Oh sh-t this is me and Thomas Rhett! Turn it up! That’s me and TR! That’s me right there. Come on now, me and TR.” It’s a little hard to hear, but apparently the song playing was “Mamaw’s House,” Morgan’s 2023 duet with his friend Thomas Rhett. And Morgan had high praise for his duet partner: “TR is one of the best. He’s one of the best dudes in the world. He would DEFINITELY not be getting arrested.” At least he had some good music to listen to on the way to jail. Eric Church On Morgan Wallen’s Arrest Church has served as a mentor of sorts to Wallen throughout his career, and the two even recently teamed up to buy the iconic outdoors brand Field & Stream. And during an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Church recalled hearing about the chair incident for the first time – while Morgan was still standing outside of his bar: “Morgan called me from the street after it happened. I was watching college basketball, and he said, “Hey, this just happened.” I said, “Uh-oh.” I knew it was gonna be noisy, and it was — it was d–n noisy.” Just a little bit. I know on our end it was one of the biggest stories that we posted all year, and it was something not only all over the news but all over social media with memes and jokes. Pretty noisy. But Church says he thinks the incident was a learning moment for Morgan, one that he’s grown from in the year since it happened: “It was actually a good thing for Mo. I think that was a line for him, and he’s done really well since then — it was a thing he’s reacted positively to as a person. I used the old Billy Joe Shaver line on him: “I’m just an old chunk of coal, but I’ll be a diamond one day.” He went down [to Chief’s] and apologized to the staff, shook everybody’s hand. I was proud of him.” Good on him. As for Morgan, he recently revealed during a conversation with Theo Von that his fateful trip to Chief’s was the last time he’s been in a bar: “It’s definitely the best thing for me, you know… I ain’t been in a bar since the last time I was in a bar that everybody knows about. The most public time I was in a bar, that’s the last time I was in a bar.” Smart. Definitely smart.The post “That’s Me, Turn It Up!” – Morgan Wallen Jammed To His Own Music In The Police Car After Being Arrested For Chair Throwing Incident first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
