The bar’s staff told cops Morgan threw the chair and there was footage of him hurling an object over the roof, the arrest report stated.
Witnesses also claimed the Wasted on You singer laughed afterward.
Morgan was ultimately charged with three counts of reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct.
The singer’s bond was set at $15,250 and footage shared on X showed him being escorted into a car following his release from the Metro Nashville Jail.
“At 10:53 pm Sunday evening Morgan Wallen was arrested in downtown Nashville for reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct. He is cooperating fully with authorities,” Morgan’s lawyer told local Fox affiliate WZTV in a statement.
Morgan is due in court on May 3, according to the Davidson County Criminal Court website.
He will already be returning to Nashville on May 2 and 3, as he is scheduled to perform at the Nissan Stadium as part of his current tour.
Morgan rose to fame after appearing in the sixth season of The Voice, where he was eliminated during the playoffs.
