AceShowbiz - Nearly two weeks after his arrest for reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct charges in Nashville, Morgan Wallen has taken responsibility for his actions. In a statement posted on his social media account, Wallen expressed remorse for his behavior and acknowledged the impact it had on others.
"I didn't feel right publicly checking in until I made amends with some folks. I've touched base with Nashville law enforcement, my family, and the good people at Chief's," Wallen wrote. "I'm not proud of my behavior, and I accept responsibility."
The incident occurred on April 7 when Wallen allegedly threw a chair off the roof of Chief's Bar, a six-story establishment on Nashville's Broadway. The chair narrowly missed two Metro Nashville police officers standing in front of the building. Wallen was arrested and charged shortly after.
In his statement, Wallen also expressed respect for law enforcement officers and confirmed that his ongoing "One Night at a Time World Tour" will continue as planned. He is slated to perform in Oxford, Mississippi on Saturday, April 20, and then return to Nashville for performances on May 2 and 3.
"I have the utmost respect for the officers working every day to keep us all safe," Wallen said. "Regarding my tour, there will be no change."
Wallen's arrest and subsequent apology have garnered significant attention, with many speculating that the incident may have been triggered by personal issues. Sources claimed that he was upset after learning that his ex-fiancee had recently married. Others have attributed his behavior to alcohol consumption.
Despite the controversy, Wallen remains a popular figure in the country music industry. His latest album, "Dangerous: The Double Album", has broken numerous records and won him multiple awards. His ongoing tour is expected to draw large crowds across the United States.
