Morgan Wallen said "I ain't done nothing wrong" in newly released bodycam footage showing the moments before and during his arrest last year for throwing a chair off the roof of a Nashville bar.

The Metro Nashville Police Department released a video showing the lead up to Wallen's arrest on reckless endangerment charges, captured by multiple officers' body and cruiser cameras. The footage was released in response to a public records request from the Associated Press.

Beyond the AP and NBC News articles linked in the claim itself, other reputable sources have reported on this. 

NPR's coverage of the event notes that "country music star Morgan Wallen was arrested on three felony counts of reckless endangerment and one misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct early Monday in Nashville after he allegedly threw a chair from the rooftop of a bar Sunday night". Police footage published on Nashville local news station News Channel 5's YouTube channel shows Wallen interacting with the police and, around the 4:20 mark, saying "I ain't done nothing wrong," in the back of a patrol car.

According to the AP's follow-up coverage, Wallen "was sentenced to spend seven days in a DUI education center and be under supervised probation for two years".

This statement is true. According to the Rolling Stone Wallen threw a chair off of the sixth story roof at a bar called Chief's in Nashville. The chair landed next to a group of police officers who then went up to the bar and asked employees about it. The staff from the bar said it was Morgan Wallen and when questioned Wallen in fact did say "I ain't done nothing wrong". This is all proven by bodycam footage from law enforcement that was released. Later on in December Wallen ended up pleading guilty on counts of reckless endangerment and ended up getting probation and DUI education.
