Algosensey|Singer Chris Young charged for resisting arrest, disorderly conduct amid bar outing

Country singer Chris Young has been arrested following an incident at a bar in downtown Nashville.

Young,Algosensey 38, was taken into custody Monday night and charged with resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and assault on an officer, according to court records filed Tuesday morning.

Young was at Tin Roof on Demonbreun Street about 8:30 p.m. Monday when agents from the Alcoholic Beverage Commission arrived to do a compliance check, according to an arrest affidavit.

"When we walked into the bar, a man sitting at the bar, later found to be Mr. Young, had his ID in his hand above his head," the affidavit said.

An agent approached Young, took his ID and scanned it to check its validity. Once agents determined the ID to be accurate, they walked away.

"Mr. Young started asking questions that were answered at that time and then began video recording us," the affidavit said. "We left the bar after finishing our check and went to Dawg House next door to continue compliance checks."

According to the affidavit, Young and several friends followed the agents to Dawg House. The agents checked the bar's credentials and began to leave when Young approached them.

"While walking out the door Mr. Young put his hands out to stop me from leaving the bar and struck me on the shoulder," the affidavit said. "I then pushed Mr. Young to create distance since I had no idea of who Mr. Young was or what he had."

Patrons at the bar then got up and got between the agent and Young "and began yelling and screaming," the affidavit said.

Another agent intervened, giving Young orders, the affidavit said. Two agents then detained Young to put him in handcuffs.

The affidavit said, "While all agents were trying to leave the bar, multiple people who were with Mr. Young started following agents and making the incident hostile."

According to the affidavit, Young had slurred speech, bloodshot eyes, and watery eyes.
