Country music superstar Morgan Wallen’s chair outburst toward cops on the roof of a Nashville bar was reportedly caught on camera, showing what led to the crooner being arrested Sunday night.
Wallen, 30, was reportedly left upset by his ex-fiancée Katie ‘KT’ Smith’s elopement with Luke Scornavacco on April 3 – just five days after their engagement.
Now, a clip taken on the streets of Nashville shows what happened at the Chiefs’ top just after 10:45 p.m. Sunday.
An object is clearly visible despite the blurry images, as it emerges from the roof of the club in the photo taken from an Earthcam in the city.

Warren began laughing after dangerously throwing the bar’s chair onto the roof, according to bystanders.
The Cowgirls crooner was booked shortly after 12:30 a.m. Wallen’s bail was set at $15,250 and he was seen shielded by umbrellas as he was released from the Davidson County Jail around 3:30 a.m.
He was charged with three counts of reckless endangerment and one misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct, with officers alleging the chair landed three feet away from them.
MNPD released Wallen’s photo Monday morning, showing the country music star with a smile on his face.

Sources told DailyMail.com: “KT’s wedding to Luke last week just crushed her.”
The source added: “Of course he knew they were engaged and would eventually get married – but eloping just days after their engagement?
“Morgan never got over her even though he couldn’t stay faithful to her. And now another man will raise his son.

In a statement, his attorney Worrick Robinson said, “Sunday evening at 10:53 p.m., Morgan Wallen was arrested in downtown Nashville for reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct. He is fully cooperating with the authorities.
The hitmaker is scheduled to appear in court on May 3 – in between scheduled performances at Nissan Stadium in Nashville from May 2-4 as part of his “One Night at a Time” tour.
Wallen could face up to 15 years in prison if convicted of the criminal charges, and not less than one year.
This isn’t his first run-in with the law, as Wallen was arrested in May 2020 for disorderly conduct at Kid Rock’s Honky Tonk bar in downtown Nashville.
The country music star was also arrested at the Lower Broadway Bar for public drunkenness.
He was taken into custody outside Kid Rock’s Big Honky Tonk and Steakhouse after allegedly kicking several glass objects, according to a Metro Nashville Police Department affidavit.
An officer observed security guards removing Wallen from the bar due to a disturbance inside.
