Morgan Wallen's court case following his arrest in Nashville for allegedly throwing a chair from a downtown rooftop will be Surpassingcontinued later this summer.
The singer's attorney, Worrick Robinson, attended an initial hearing on Wallen's behalf on Friday after the "Last Night" singer waived his right to appear in court. The next hearing was scheduled for the morning of Aug. 15.
"This is obviously a very complicated case, and it's not going to resolve itself without subpoenas and witnesses," Robinson, said Friday morning. "Morgan will be there on Aug. 15."
Three things could happen in August when the award-winning country music star, who faces three felony charges, appears in court. Davidson County prosecutors may call witnesses for a hearing on the facts of the case. They may, instead, settle. Or, depending on the court's schedule, they could kick the case down the road a little further.
Wallen, who performed the first of three Nashville shows on his Thursday night, is currently on his "Morgan Wallen: One Night At A Time" 2024 tour.
On April 7, the country singer, 30, was charged with three counts of reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon, each a Class E felony, and one count of disorderly conduct, a Class C misdemeanor.
He was on the rooftop of Chief's, a six-story Nashville honky-tonk owned by Eric Church, at about 11 p.m. when he allegedly threw a chair over the railing to the street below, according to his arrest affidavit. Several Nashville police officers were standing in front of the bar when the chair landed just feet from them, the affidavit stated.
Video footage from the bar showed Wallen "lunging and throwing an object over the roof," the affidavit said.
Morgan Wallen's lawyer hopes this is an opportunity to 'learn lessons in life'
On April 19, Wallen took to X, formerly Twitter, to release his first statement on the incident.
"I didn't feel right publicly checking in until I made amends with some folks," he wrote. "I’ve touched base with Nashville law enforcement, my family, and the good people at Chief’s. I'm not proud of my behavior, and I accept responsibility."

When asked if his preference would be to settle the case without a trial, lawyer Robinson said he'd prepare for all options.
"I think everybody generally wins if you can resolve it in a manner that everybody can live with," Robinson said Friday.
He remained hopeful this situation will be a learning moment for Wallen.
"Sometimes you have to go through things for your own to learn lessons in life, and I think that's applicable to Morgan Wallen, my son and everybody else's kids," he said.
