Morgan Wallen had a brush with the Nashville Police Department on Saturday night (2/11), but this time it was a good one. Nashville TV Station Fox 17 News posted a photo of Morgan with officers from Nashville New Entertainment District Unit, which polices the area of Broadway, on Facebook.

The post read, "Officers with Metro Nashville Police Department's new Entertainment District Unit met Country Musician Morgan Wallen on Broadway Thursday night."

In 2020, police police arrested Wallen for his public intoxication and disorderly conduct at a Nashville bar in May of that year. The arrest report stated that Morgan refused to walk away with his friends after officers gave him multiple chances, and he got into several verbal confrontations with people who were there. Officers said Wallen bore a strong odor of alcohol and that he posed a danger to himself and the public. They arrested him for "being intoxicated in public, unable to take care of himself, and the reasonable likelihood the offense would continue."

At the time, public records from the Davidson County Criminal Court indicated that the charges were dropped.

Wallen recently announced a new album would be out on March 3, 2023, by posting a video clip to his Instagram of himself standing in a field with burning numbers that read: 3-3-23. Morgan posted along with the video clip, album cover art, and the back with the 36 songs listed. He wrote, "March 3. Wallen 3. 36 New Songs. 'One Thing At A Time' - MW. This announcement has been a long time coming.  I'm releasing my album pre-order tonight!!  And releasing 3 new songs to celebrate - 'Last Night,' 'Everything I Love,' and 'I Wrote The Book.'"

As Morgan Wallen celebrates his 30th birthday today (5/13), he just shared with his fans that he has re-scheduled 10 out of the 16 tour dates that he postponed early this week. Morgan posted the news on his Instagram to the delight of his bid fan base.

While he wasn't in attendance at the ACM Awards earlier this week (5/11), Wallen did win the Male Artist of the Year honor given out by ACM co-host Garth Brooks.

Earlier this year, in March, Morgan revealed he is single. He said in a recent interview, "I had a girlfriend for a while. Not recently. That was the last one I had. I don't have anybody right now. It's kind of hard. Just how busy I've been. I got a son; an album, a tour; I've got all these things I do."

He added, "It's really hard for me to make time for that. I want to, though. I think I'm coming up on my 'settle down phase.' We'll see. I'm not in a hurry."

As Walen celebrates his big day working on improving his voice during his doctor-mandated vocal rest, we pause to look at 13 of his best songs.
