VIDEO OF CHRIS YOUNG ARREST RAISES QUESTIONS

VIDEO OF CHRIS YOUNG ARREST RAISES QUESTIONS

We live in an age where almost everything is caught on camera – and that may be a good thing for Chris YoungWe told you yesterday the country singer was arrested on several charges stemming from a run-in with ABC agents in Nashville that got physical. While the initial report from the agents didn’t look good for Young, security footage from the bars seems to suggest that the agent’s description of events may not 100-percent jibe with what actually happened.

According to the ABC agent’s affidavit, “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.” This led to Young being arrested on several charges, including disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and assault. Chris is due back in court on the charges February 16.

However…the video appears to show Chris was a lot calmer than the agents suggested, and instead of him “striking” the agent on the shoulder, Young appears to touch him as the agent walks by to get his attention. At that point the agent violently shoves the singer and sends him flying. While the entire encounter is not on the video, enough is there that Young’s lawyer has demanded justice. “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.”
