Overview

• The Metro Nashville Police Department released body- and cruiser-camera footage to the Associated Press in response to a public records request.
• Video shows officers stopping Wallen outside Chief’s as he says “I don’t know” about a chair tossed from the roof and later asserts, “I ain’t done nothing wrong.”
• A sergeant states he watched security video identifying Wallen, and officers cite witnesses, including one who said Wallen lifted the chair and laughed.
• Wallen calls bar co-owner Eric Church during the exchange, and an officer replies that they must handle the investigation as they would for anyone.
• In the patrol car, Wallen reacts to his duet with Thomas Rhett playing on the radio; months later he pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor reckless endangerment counts and received seven days at a DUI education center plus two years of probation with potential expungement.
