Country star Chris Young addressed the “false accusations” he faced after being arrested for assaulting an officer. The charges were dismissed days later.
The “I’m Comin’ Over” singer was hit with three charges – disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and assaulting an officer – after being arrested Jan. 22 by the Alcoholic Beverage Commission (ABC).
Young shared on social media, “Hey guys, so I just wanted to say something. You know, I’m still processing a lot through the false accusations and everything that went on in the past week. But I wanted to say first and foremost, thank you to everybody that had my back. It meant the world to me and I had so many friends and fans reach out and say ‘we got you, we don’t believe you did any of this.’ So it’s really nice to see the charges get dismissed.”
“It’s not something I wish anybody has to go through ever. But, like I said, the bright spot was seeing just all the love and support. So what I wanted to do as a thank you to you guys – because this was not planned – is drop a new song from the album so you guys will have something to listen to. We’re going to put out ‘Double Down’ at midnight and I really hope you guys enjoy this one. Crank it up, enjoy it – I appreciate you, I love you, and thank you.”
