Wallen was detained in a Metro Nashville Police cruiser while onlookers took photos and videos of Wallen, who appeared to be screaming through the window. He was transported to the Metro Nashville Jail and booked at 12:36 a.m., charged with three counts of felony reckless endangerment/aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, along with misdemeanor disorderly conduct. Police say video captured him hurling the charge from the 6th story of the building, landing within a few feet of three officers below.
