Kenny Chesney has played more than 1,300 concerts in his professional career. He started like most country artists do, in bars and honky-tonks, then moved to arenas and finally, stadiums.
One thing is for sure, when you attend a Chesney stadium show, there are plenty of police and security officers there to assist should something go wrong.
But, for one off-duty police officer, something did go wrong … but he was the reason, and his actions caused it.
Police Officer Arrested at a Kenny Chesney Show for the Craziest Reason
This all went down this past weekend at a Kenny Chesney concert at Gillette Stadium, in Massachusetts.
In the front row area of the show — known as the pit — there was a disturbance that took place, and someone summoned the police to come to the pit during the show at around 9:15PM.
Apparently, a man had urinated on a woman’s shoe while in the pit of the Chesney concert. The woman was minding her own business, partying with friends to her favorite Chesney tune, when she felt the dreaded warm stream on her leg.
That’s when the woman turned around and found Shane Lynch, who is a police officer in Cranston, Mass., openly urinating right there on her foot.
While it is important to note that Lynch was off-duty, this is still certainly not the standard that a police department expects from of its own, on or off-duty.
To nobody’s surprise, Lynch was highly intoxicated, having had way too many “Beers in Mexico” at the Chesney show.
The police chief of the Cranston Police Department, Michael Winquist, is in cleanup mode no doubt, releasing a traditional blanket statement about the situation involving one of his own.
“We are aware of the arrest and will handle the matter administratively,” the chief said.
One thing is for sure: Everyone in this situation is pissed off.

Kenny Rogers developed a taste for fine living early in his success. His ultra-lavish mansion in Bel Air, Calif., an estate called Lionsgate, was opulent even by celebrity standards. The 11-bedroom, 17-bathroom home totals 23,988 square feet of space, and it sits on 1.63 acres of some of the most expensive real estate in California.
The lavish interior includes a master suite that encompasses more than 3,000 square feet, three separate living rooms, seven fireplaces, a billiards room, a formal study, a private 12-seat theater with leather seats, a climate-controlled wine room that opens onto a saltwater pool, three steam showers and a large dry sauna.
