Morgan Wallen had a brush with the Nashville Police Department on Saturday night (2/11), but this time it was a good one. Nashville TV Station Fox 17 News posted a photo of Morgan with officers from Nashville New Entertainment District Unit, which polices the area of Broadway, on Facebook.

The post read, “Officers with Metro Nashville Police Department’s new Entertainment District Unit met Country Musician Morgan Wallen on Broadway Thursday night.”

In 2020, police police arrested Wallen for his public intoxication and disorderly conduct at a Nashville bar in May of that year. The arrest report stated that Morgan refused to walk away with his friends after officers gave him multiple chances, and he got into several verbal confrontations with people who were there. Officers said Wallen bore a strong odor of alcohol and that he posed a danger to himself and the public. They arrested him for “being intoxicated in public, unable to take care of himself, and the reasonable likelihood the offense would continue.”

At the time, public records from the Davidson County Criminal Court indicated that the charges were dropped.
