Country music star Chris Young was arrested Monday night on charges including assault of an officer in a run-in with law enforcement at a bar in Nashville, Tennessee, according to court documents and jail information.
Young was also charged with resisting arrest and disorderly conduct, according to Nashville police and Davidson County sheriff’s records and affidavits obtained by NBC News.
Young allegedly assaulted Joseph T Phillips, an agent with Tennessee’s Alcohol Beverage Commission, at a bar a few blocks from the Country Music Hall of Fame and just off the city’s famed Broadway nightlife district, according to arrest affidavits.
Phillips alleged Young began following agents as they conducted routine compliance checks at a pair of Nashville bars. It started around 8:30 p.m. at the venue Tin Roof, where Young had his ID checked, then conversed with the agents and began recording the law enforcement officers on video, the agent said in the affidavits.
The agents proceeded to the bar next door, DawgHouse, and Young and "multiple friends" followed, Phillips said in the affidavits.
