Chris Young is accused of starting a fight with a Tennessee bureaucrat in a bar — but now, new video appears to show he didn’t do much of anything at all … or so it seems, anyway.
You’ll recall … the country singer was arrested earlier this week after law enforcement officials alleged he got physical with an agent from the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission out in Nashville Monday night — this after they came in to check IDs and driver’s licenses.
The arrest affidavit claims Chris blocked the TABC agents from exiting the bar they were at — alleging he then put hands on one of them … and even claiming he struck one of their shoulders. That resulted in some sort of scuffle … and with Chris being booked.
He’s facing charges of disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and assault on an officer — but with this new video here … many are questioning whether Chris did anything whatsoever.
Chris’ attorney has been decrying the charges, insisting these clips of the incident — which are making the rounds online and elsewhere — make it crystal clear … he’s innocent.
His client has a court date later in February to answer for these charges … but Chris’ lawyer is pushing to have them dropped outright, and based on what’s depicted here — he might have a point. It certainly looks like Chris didn’t start any fight … the other dude did.
Anyway, we’ll see what comes of it … and whether Chris ends up entering a plea. We already know his position on this publicly, though — he’s saying he didn’t do squat.
