As per The New York Post, he allegedly recorded the officials and then followed them to an adjacent bar called the Dawg House, a place where TABC officials were conducting a routine compliance check.

When Young was at the Dawg House, he started to talk to people at the bar and to the bartender while the TABC agents went into the back of the joint to check ABC (Restricted Brewery License) cards.

An agent claimed that when he had attempted to leave the establishment, Chris Young put out his arm to block his exit and allegedly struck him. The ABC agent said he pushed the musician back to create distance and other locals at the bar became involved, as per Fox News.

"Mr. Young's eyes were bloodshot and watery as well as having blurred speech."
