The incident unfolded at the popular Tin Roof bar, where Young was initially involved in a routine compliance check by Nashville’s Alcoholic Beverage Commission. Things escalated quickly when Young, after being questioned and recorded by the ABC agents, followed them to the neighboring Dawg House bar.
It was here that the situation took a dramatic turn. Young allegedly obstructed an agent’s exit and struck him, leading to a heated altercation. The night culminated in Young’s arrest, with the singer showing clear signs of intoxication, evidenced by his bloodshot eyes and slurred speech.
