You can even hear his side of the conversation with Church. The footage comes with a warning, as Wallen uses several curse words.<\/p>\n<h3>Morgan Wallen Arrest Police Bodycam Video<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"68\" data-end=\"241\">The video begins as Wallen and his team attempt to leave Chief\u2019s. Someone \u2014 possibly a bodyguard \u2014 can be heard loudly insisting there were no witnesses, only accusations.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"243\" data-end=\"291\">\u201cWhat happened?\u201d a police officer asks Wallen.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"293\" data-end=\"384\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">\u201cI don\u2019t know,\u201d he replies. Moments later, he tries to walk away, but an officer stops him.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"68\" data-end=\"239\">When a police officer tells Wallen he\u2019s trying to figure out why a chair landed next to his patrol car, Wallen responds by suggesting the officer should \u201cfigure it out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"241\" data-end=\"488\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">That\u2019s when Wallen calls Church, who not only picks up but agrees to speak with one of the officers. Church apparently doesn\u2019t say anything to derail the investigation, effectively foiling Wallen\u2019s attempt to play the \u201cdo you know who I am?\u201d card.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"68\" data-end=\"204\">The video quickly cuts to officers reviewing the security footage before they arrest Wallen and place him in the back of a patrol car.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"206\" data-end=\"417\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">At 4:12 in the video, Wallen is seen being put into the car, and the footage switches to that angle. \u201cI ain\u2019t done nothing wrong,\u201d he insists. A few seconds later, he hears \u201cMawmaw\u2019s House\u201d playing on the radio.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Oh s&#8211;t. This is me and Thomas Rhett. Turn it up,&#8221; he asks with some excitement.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;TR is one of the best dudes in the world,&#8221;\u00a0Wallen says ending the video. &#8220;He would definitely not be getting arrested.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"photogallery-wrapper blog-photogallery \">\n<h2 class=\"photogallery-title\">Timeline of Morgan Wallen Controversies + Accomplishments<\/h2>\n<div class=\"photogallery-description\">\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/tasteofcountry.com\/tags\/morgan-wallen\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Morgan Wallen<\/a> has been arrested, banned and booted throughout a career that&#8217;s not even 10 years old.
