Chris Young: All Charges Dropped By Nashville DA

Days after Chris Young was arrested  at the Dawg House Bar in Nashville, the Nashville District Attorney announced that charges against the singer are being dropped.

According to The Tennessean,  District Attorney General Glenn Funk said,  "After a review of all the evidence in this case, the Office of the District Attorney has determined that these charges will be dismissed."

On Monday night, the singer was charged with disorderly conduct, assaulting an officer, and resisting arrest. Young was sitting at the bar at the Tin Roof when the Alcoholic Beverage Commission was completing a compliance check.

The Tennessean reported that the affidavit said that when agents walked into the bar, Young had his ID in his hand above his head. After the agents scanned his ID and determined it to be accurate, they walked away.

"Mr. Young started asking questions that were answered at that time and then began video recording us. We left the bar after finishing our check and went to Dawg House next door to continue compliance checks," the affidavit said. The affidavit noted that Young and several of his friends followed.

"While walking out the door, Mr. Young put his hands out to stop me from leaving the bar and struck me on the shoulder. I then pushed Mr. Young to create distance since I had no idea of who Mr. Young was or what he had." The affidavit added that Young had "slurred speech and bloodshot, watery eyes."

However, video of the incident called the account in the affidavit into question. On Wednesday, Chris Young's lawyer Bill Ramsey called on the Tennessee Alcohol Beverage Commission to apologize. He said in a statement, "What happened to my client Chris Young at a bar in Nashville on Monday night was wrong, and he never should have been arrested and charged in the first place. In light of the video evidence, Tennessee ABC needs to drop the charges and apologize for the physical, emotional, and professional harm done towards my client."

Young has yet to comment about the incident.

Chris Young has been scoring consistent number-one songs in country music since he won the Nashville Star in 2006. To date, his song chart-topping success is at eleven.

Young recently praised fellow Tennessean and country star Jelly Roll. He said of his friend's success, "I'm just not even going to talk about me because, at this point, I just want to talk about him. And how welcoming and awesome and polite and nice that guy is. And you know, he's just having such a cool run right now."

He added, "I remember talking about this music he's putting out like, I think, well over a year ago. And it's just amazing to see him having the moment he's having. "

In the same interview, Chris cited a hero of his. He said, "A female artist that has definitely influenced me from the perspective of the stage show, vocalist, performance, and just how much she has accomplished in her career that I look up to is Reba McEntire. If you make a Mount Rushmore of country music, I have a whole lot of reasons why she should be on there."

He added, "And she's just a fantastic person and a fantastic artist. Another woman in the music industry that has really had a profound impact on me, especially from a songwriting perspective, is Liz Rose (frequent Taylor Swift collaborator). I got a chance to meet her really early on in my career, and obviously, she's had so many hits, so many hits. But just being in a room with her, being able to learn from her, I feel incredibly lucky to have that opportunity, and to have someone that's that adept at songwriting help me learn and help guide me as a songwriter and an artist."

As Chris celebrates his 38th birthday today (6/12) with his latest radio single, "Looking For You," entering the Top twenty on the country charts, we countdown what we believe are his finest songs.
