Country star Morgan Wallen was arrested Sunday night after throwing a chair off a rooftop bar and almost hitting police officers on the ground. 

Wallen was charged with three felony counts of reckless endangerment and one misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge.

He was released on $15,250 bond after he was arraigned. His mugshot showed him smiling.

Video footage showed Wallen leaning over the edge of the roof of Chiefs' bar and then throwing the chair. He was seen laughing afterward.

The incident happened just before 11 p.m. Police said he was a danger to the public and that "he created a hazardous condition by an act that served no legitimate purpose."

Wallen could get up to six years in jail for the charges against him.
