Country star Chris Young was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, assaulting an officer, and resisting arrest after an alleged altercation at Nashville bar the DawgHouse Saloon on Monday night. According to an arrest affidavit obtained by PEOPLE, Young followed police from the Tin Roof bar to the DawgHouse and struck an officer on the shoulder, leading to his physical detainment by two officials.

The police had arrived at the Tin Roof around 8:30 p.m. to conduct a compliance check on behalf of the Alcoholic Beverage Commission and found Young sitting at the bar. After verifying his ID, they worked with the bar staff to check the establishment's ABC cards, during which Young conversed with the cops and began filming the moment.

When the officers left Tin Roof to check ABC cards at DawgHouse, Young and multiple friends followed them to the subsequent bar and spoke with its staff. As the police looked to exit the location, Young allegedly laid hands on the officer and "struck" him on the shoulder.

Unaware of Young's identity, the cop pushed him away, and another bar patron intervened. The "Drinkin' Me Lonely" singer then allegedly "began yelling and screaming," refusing to follow the directions of an officer speaking to him.

Young was then "physically detained" in handcuffs by two officials, and some of his friends grew "hostile" and followed the cops as they left the bar. According to the documents, Young's speech was "slurred," while his "eyes were blood shot and watery."

Following his arrest, Young was taken into custody and later released on bonds of $250 for the disorderly conduct charge, $1,000 for the resisting arrest charge, and $1,250 for the assault charge. He is set to appear in court on Feb. 16.

A representative for Young did not respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.
