\n\tWallen\u2019s attorney Worrick Robinson appeared on behalf of the star before a Nashville judge, who set a new court date for Aug. 15. The hearing did not involve entering a plea, and Wallen had waived his right to appear in person, but Robinson said the star himself would be at the next hearing.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThis is obviously very complicated case and it\u2019s not going to resolve itself without subpoenas and witnesses,\u201d Robinson told the media after the hearing. \u201cThe state will subpoena witnesses and we\u2019ll work on the case on our end. Morgan will be here on Aug. 15, and several things can happen in the case. We might have a hearing, we might settle the case or the case might continue. Those are the options.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWallen, who is in the midst of three sold-out headlining shows at Nashville\u2019s Nissan Stadium on his One Night at a Time Tour this weekend, was arrested in Nashville on April 7 in connection to the chair-throwing incident. Two Metro Nashville Police Department officers were reportedly standing on the street below Chief\u2019s on Broadway, owned by country singer Eric Church, when the chair landed approximately three feet from the officers. Police then reportedly spoke with staff and witnesses and viewed security footage to confirm Wallen\u2019s alleged actions. <\/p>\n

\n\tAfter the arrest, the country star was charged with three felony counts of reckless endangerment and one misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019m not proud of my behavior, and I accept responsibility,\u201d Wallen said in a statement on April 19. \u201cI have the utmost respect for the officers working every day to keep us all safe. Regarding my tour, there will be no change.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSpeaking with the media after Friday\u2019s hearing, Robinson confirmed that there is surveillance footage of the incident, which he has viewed. He also addressed the issue of the police report noting that Wallen was seen \u201claughing\u201d after the incident. \u201cAs each of you know, you can\u2019t always believe everything you read, and I haven\u2019t seen anything to suggest that at all, so I don\u2019t have any proof that that is correct.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAsked by media if they have a preference to settle the case, Robinson said, \u201cThese cases are always complicated and you just never know what\u2019s going to happen. As an attorney, all you can do is be prepared and that\u2019s what the district attorney\u2019s office will do also. Everybody will prepare as if there\u2019s going to be a hearing, but I think everybody generally wins if you can resolve it in a manner that everybody can live with.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tRobinson also responded to media who asked if Wallen was denying throwing the chair, saying, \u201cI think he has said he takes responsibility for what he\u2019s done \u2026 We\u2019re not required to enter a plea of any type. But you\u2019ve read his words and I think you understand them clearly.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFriday night (May 3), Wallen continues with his second of three sold-out shows at Nissan Stadium as part of his One Night at a Time tour.<\/p>\n
