Morgan Wallenwill be chasin’ justice following his arrest earlier this year.
Indeed, a case involving the 31-year-old country music singer—who was arrested in April after he allegedly tossed a chair off the roof of a bar in Nashville, Tennessee—is moving forward.
According to local station WSMV, Morgan’s lawyer Worrick Robinsonappeared “briefly” in a Nashville courtroom Dec. 10, filing paperwork with a Davidson County judge, who ordered the case to go to the Circuit Criminal Court.
The “Last Night” singer was not present but is set to appear the next time his case is heard on Dec. 12, per the outlet.
E! has reached out to Morgan’s attorney and has not heard back.
Morgan was arrested for three counts of felony reckless endangerment and one count of misdemeanor disorderly conduct on April 7, after he was accused of throwing a chair off the roof of the Chief’s bar owned by Eric Church. At the time Worrick told E!, "He is cooperating fully with authorities."
According to arrest records viewed by local outlet WKRN, officers were standing in front of Chiefs Bar around 10:53 p.m. when they witnessed a chair fall from above and hit the street. Upon approaching the bar's security, staff members allegedly told them that Morgan was responsible for the incident.
The officers reportedly viewed footage that showed the "Last Night" singer "lunging an object over the roof," which stands at six stories above the street.
Following his arrest, the “Chasin’ You” singer spoke out about the incident.
"I didn't feel right publicly checking in until I made amends with some folks," he wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, April 19. "I've touched base with Nashville law enforcement, my family, and the good people at Chief's. I'm not proud of my behavior, and I accept responsibility."
Morgan added, "I have the utmost respect for the officers working every day to keep us all safe."
