When asked how he pleaded, the “Cowgirls” singer responded, “Conditionally guilty.”
Earlier this year, Wallen was charged with three counts of reckless endangerment and one count of disorderly conduct for hurling a chair from the sixth floor of Chief’s, a bar owned by country singer Eric Church, just after 10:45 p.m. on April 7.

Patrons who witnessed the chair-throwing and arrest claimed the “Somebody’s Problem” singer laughed after the incident. He later flashed a cheeky grin in his mug shot released by police the following day.
Officers from the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department said the chair landed three feet away from them.
In a written statement after court proceedings, Robinson said that his client’s agreement would “not result in a conviction.”

“Upon the successful completion of his probation, the charges will be eligible for dismissal and expungement,” Robinson told The Post in a statement.
“Mr. Wallen has cooperated fully with authorities throughout these last eight months, directly communicating and apologizing to all involved. Mr. Wallen remains committed to making a positive impact through his music and foundation.”
After posting a $15,250 bond the day after his arrest, Wallen took to social media, where he admitted to not being “proud of my behavior.”
“I didn’t feel right publicly checking in until I made amends with some folks,” he wrote on X at the time.

“I’ve touched base with Nashville law enforcement, my family, and the good people at Chief’s. I’m not proud of my behavior, and I accept responsibility.
“I have the utmost respect for the officers working every day to keep us all safe. Regarding my tour, there will be no change,” he concluded his post on April 19.
