Although he was scheduled for a hearing for his controversial chair-throwing incident in Nashville last month, Morgan Wallen will reportedly not appear in court after all.
On April 7, Wallen was arrested on one misdemeanor and three felonies after he allegedly threw a chair from the roof of Chief’s bar in downtown Nashville.

Morgan Wallen’s lawyer, Warrick Robinson, confirmed his arrest and said he was fully cooperating with authorities. Nearly two weeks later, Wallen issued a statement about the incident.
“I have been in contact with the authorities in Nashville, my family and the good people at Chief’s. “I am not proud of my behavior and I accept responsibility.”
According PEOPLE, Wallen waived his right to appear in court and Robinson will appear before the judge on his behalf.
Robinson shared in a statement: “The court formally waived Morgan Wallen’s appearance on Friday, May 3, as his presence is not required to move the case forward. The District Attorney’s office has been notified of the Waiver to Appear.”
Morgan Wallen is scheduled to perform at Nissan Stadium for his One Night at a Time world tour on Friday.
Sources previously said Morgan Wallen didn’t spend much time at the Nashville bar before the chair-throwing incident.
A source previously said PEOPLE that Morgan Wallen was not expected at Chief’s the night of the chair-throwing incident. He was not in the establishment for long and most customers and staff did not immediately realize what happened.
“Morgan is overall a nice and fun person to hang out with,” the source explained. “But when he gets going, he doesn’t know when to stop. “Morgan and alcohol are a problem, and it has been a problem that keeps coming back.”
Rumors circulated that Wallen had thrown the chair while he was upset that his ex KT Smith had run off with Luke Scornavacco.
“KT’s marriage to Luke last week just crushed him,” a source said. “Of course, he knew they were engaged and would eventually get married, but they eloped just days after getting engaged?”
Smith publicly addressed the gossip by stating that the incident had nothing to do with her. “Although it may seem like it correlates because of the timeline,” she said. “I have no evidence to believe that the incident had anything to do with the recent marriage announcement.”
Smith, who shares son Indigo with Wallen, also said she was praying for him. “Praying this was just a slip,” she said. “And that he will return to the good path he was on before.”
