Country music star Morgan Wallen has pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor counts of reckless endangerment for throwing a chair from the rooftop of Chief's bar in Nashville on April 7, nearly hitting two police officers. Witnesses reported seeing Wallen pick up a chair, throw it over the roof, and laugh about it, which was confirmed by security footage. The incident led to Wallen's arrest, and he was sentenced to spend seven days at a DUI education center and be under supervised probation for two years. Wallen has cooperated fully with authorities, directly communicating and apologizing to all involved, including law enforcement. His plea deal, part of a judicial diversion, allows for the charges to be dismissed and expunged upon successful completion of his probation. This legal resolution follows Wallen's initial charges of three felony counts of reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon and one misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct.
