Morgan Wallen is owning up to his mistakes — and paying up.
The "Wasted on You" singer, 31, has pled guilty to two misdemeanor charges for reckless endangerment after a drunken incident in April when he threw a chair from the sixth floor rooftop of a Nashville bar down to street level; fortunately, no one was injured.
At the time, he shared in a statement: "I didn't feel right publicly checking in until I made amends with some folks. 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," adding: "I have the utmost respect for the officers working every day to keep us all safe. Regarding my tour, there will be no change."
Now, a judge in Nashville has sentenced Morgan — who in May 2020 was also arrested for public intoxication — to seven days of incarceration.
As opposed to serving them in jail or prison however, he will instead spend the week at a DUI education center.
He was also sentenced to two years' probation, one year for each of his misdemeanor charges for reckless endangerment, and he must also pay a $350 fine and court fees.

Morgan entered a conditional plea pursuant to Tennessee's Diversion Statute that does not result in a conviction.

It was the first time the singer made an in-person appearance in a courtroom for the charges, and the hearing lasted 10 minutes. When Judge Cynthia Chappell asked how he pleaded, he simply replied "conditionally guilty."
