His lawyer, Worrick Robinson, filed the motion to plea with the Nashville District Attorney’s office on Wednesday. Wallen was accused of throwing a chair from six stories high at a Nashville honky tonk in early April. The chair crashed below at the feet of Nashville police officers.
In a plea agreement, Wallen pleaded “conditionally guilty” to two counts of reckless endangerment. He was sentenced to seven days in jail, that will be served at a DUI education center, followed by two years of probation.
Wallen was arrested for three counts of reckless endangerment for the two officers who were in the vicinity and for the danger to the public, the arrest report stated. Wallen was also charged with disorderly conduct.
Officers were able to view video which showed Wallen “lunging and throwing an object over the roof,” his arrest report said. Witnesses told officers Wallen laughed afterward.
