Morgan Wallen was set to face felony reckless endangerment charges on Friday (May 3), but he’s elected to waive his right to appear.

The hearing was scheduled for the morning after Wallen’s Nashville concert at Nissan Stadium.

• Morgan Wallen was arrested on April 7 after allegedly throwing a chair off the roof of Chiefs in downtown Nashville.
• The chair landed near two police officers.
• After interviewing witnesses, MNPD charged him with three counts of reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct.

Multiple outlets including Fox17 in Nashville share that Wallen’s lawyer, Worrick Robinson, says the court has formally waived his appearance, “as his presence is not required to advance the case.”

WSMV in Nashville adds that Wallen waived his right to appear, meaning his lawyer can appear on his behalf.

The hearing is still set for 10:30AM.
