The chair-throwing incident took place as Chief’s celebrated its opening weekend.
Wallen was booked into jail a day later and subsequently released.
He apologised for the incident on social media.
“I’ve touched base with Nashville law enforcement, my family, and the good people at Chief’,” he wrote on social media.
“I’m not proud of my behavior, and I accept responsibility.”
It was not Wallen’s first brush with the law.
He was previously arrested in May 2020 for public intoxication and disorderly conduct outside Kid Rock’s honky-tonk bar in the entertainment district, The Tennessean newspaper reported.
In 2021, he made headlines after he was caught on video shouting a racial slur outside his Tennessee home.
That incident resulted in the loss of his recording contract. He was dropped from country radio stations and suspended form the Country Music Awards for three years.
Wallen later apologised for his actions. “There’s no excuse. I’ve never made an excuse. I never will make an excuse,” he told Billboard magazine in an interview.
Despite these controversies, he was named entertainer of the year at last month’s CMA awards.
