Riled-up country music star Morgan Wallen launched a chair at cops from a rooftop bar after his ex-fiancée secretly eloped with their toddler, DailyMail.com can reveal.
Wallen, 30, was released on bond from a Metropolitan Nashville Police Department after hurling the chair from the Chiefs Bar just after 10.45pm on Sunday.
He was charged with three counts of felony reckless endangerment and one count of misdemeanor disorderly conduct, with officers alleging the chair landed three feet from them.
