Morgan Wallen Reportedly Bracing for Jail Time

Morgan Wallen is reportedly bracing for potential jail time after facing charges related to throwing a chair off the roof of a Nashville bar. According to a new report by Life & Style, Wallen’s legal team has been working to secure a plea deal that could have avoided jail time, but their efforts appear to be falling short.

Lawyers Push for Probation

Insiders reveal that despite attempts to negotiate probation, the likelihood of Wallen avoiding jail time is slim. “Morgan’s lawyers have pushed for a probation deal, but it’s looking grim. He’s likely facing some time behind bars,” an anonymous source told the outlet.

Facing Felony Charges

Wallen is currently facing three counts of felony reckless endangerment, which could lead to a prison sentence of up to six years. However, it seems a shorter jail term is more likely. Sources suggest the best-case scenario for Wallen would be a sentence ranging from 30 to 60 days. “The prosecutors don’t want to let him off lightly, as that could fuel the perception that his celebrity status is giving him special treatment,” the source added.

Impact on Wallen’s Career

The charges stem from an incident where Wallen allegedly threw a chair from the roof of a Nashville bar, putting nearby officers and the public at risk. He was charged with three counts of assault with a deadly weapon/reckless endangerment, along with disorderly conduct. Wallen was released on a $12,500 bond but continues to face serious legal consequences.

Despite the looming legal battle, Wallen has continued his “One Night At A Time” tour, with his next court appearance set for December 12. Reports suggest that while a trial is unlikely, a plea deal may be in the works. The big question remains: will prosecutors reduce the charges to misdemeanors, or will Wallen have to plead guilty to felonies?

A felony conviction could have serious implications for Wallen’s future, especially when it comes to international touring. “A felony conviction could make it difficult for him to obtain work visas for touring outside the U.S.,” an insider explained.

As the December court date approaches, it remains unclear whether a deal will be reached, but if Wallen is required to serve time, it’s likely he’ll want to do so when his tour schedule allows.
