Country star Morgan Wallen seen flirting with woman at Nashville bar moments ... trends now
Country music star Morgan Wallen could have his hopes of opening his honky-tonk bar in Nashville this summer dashed after racking up three felony charges over his alleged drunken escapade last weekend, DailyMail.com can reveal.
The singer, 30, was arrested after throwing a wooden chair over a four-foot wall from a rooftop bar, Chief's on Broadway, during a boozing session on Sunday night.
It has since been revealed that Wallen had been reportedly flirting with a woman minutes before the outburst.
Photos show Wallen - dressed in a baby blue polo, khaki pants, and boots - fiddling with his cap as he chats up a brunette in a black miniskirt alongside two male friends, who can be seen laughing.
Eyewitnesses told TMZ Wallen appeared intoxicated and that a member of Wallen's crew ordered patrons not to take pictures.
The photos were taken at 10:50pm, just moments before he threw the chair and roughly 20 mins before cops handcuffed him.
If convicted he could face up to six years in prison and a fine of up to $3,000 for hurling the chair off the roof, nearly hitting cops, according to Tennessee's sentencing guidelines.
But jail time is not all the Last Night singer is risking, with Tennessee's Alcoholic Beverage Commission's (TABC) Fresh Start Act able to ban those who have felony convictions linked to intoxication from obtaining an alcohol license.

Wallen was arrested and charged with three counts of felony reckless endangerment and one count of misdemeanor disorderly conduct
Wallen is currently set to open his own bar later this year - named This Bar and Tennessee Kitchen - in Nashville as a nod to his Tennessee roots.
The six-story bar will be located at 107 4th Avenue North on Lower Broadway and is set to be a live music venue and restaurant.
State guidance seen by DailyMail.com states that those applying for an alcohol license can be rejected if they have convictions within eight years of the application.
The TABC considers the 'nature and seriousness of the crime', as well as the 'relationship between the crime' and the 'purposes of regulating the occupation, profession, business or trade for which the license is sought'.
It is unclear if Wallen has started the application process for his bar and kitchen, which still under construction.
TABC officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment by DailyMail.com.
Wallen is currently advertising for servers, security staff, kitchen workers and bartenders, located just off the city's iconic Broadway.
He is also hiring a VIP table server assistant and VIP cocktail server, who will be required to obtain and maintain their own license by the TABC.
Security staff will be paid $20 to $27 per hour, the only salary revealed in the ads.
Applications are being handled by TC restaurant Group, which currently runs several other bars and establishments along the strip in Nashville.
Chief's is owned by fellow country artist Eric Church and celebrated its grand opening over the weekend
Wallen, meanwhile, is in the process of opening his own bar and restaurant in the city this summer
