Morgan Wallen’s Attorney Explains His Plea Deal

Morgan Wallen’s attorney explains the plea agreement stemming from his Nashville chair throwing incident in April.   The lawyre is speaking out after the country star pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 7 days incarceration and two years probation for allegedly tossing a chair from the roof of a Nashville bar.

Attorney Worrick Robinson IV, who is representing Wallen, shared a statement after the hearing. “… Morgan Wallen appeared in Davidson County Circuit Court [Thursday] with Judge Cynthia Chappell presiding where he entered a conditional plea pursuant to Tennessee’s Diversion Statute that does not result in a conviction,” he said. “The plea agreement with the Office of the District Attorney requires Mr. Wallen to spend 7 days at a DUI Education Center, be on probation for 2 years — one year for each of the misdemeanor charges for reckless endangerment— pay a $350 fine and court fees.”

Robinson went on to say that if Wallen completes his probation, “the charges will be eligible for dismissal and expungement.”

“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,” he concluded.
