Morgan Wallen may face years in jail for allegedly throwing a chair over a rooftop bar in Nashville, but his image may still stay intact, experts say.
While the "Wasted on You" singer was released from jail by 3:30 a.m. on a $15,250 bond, Rither Alabre, a former New York prosecutor and current partner in the White Collar Defense & Investigation Practice Group at Blank Rome LLP, told Fox News Digital that Wallen could see major legal penalties from his wild night out at Chief's Bar.

"The felony charges are the most serious ones and could land Wallen in jail for up to six years if he is prosecuted and convicted of those charges," Alabre said. "The reckless endangerment counts could have been charged as misdemeanors, which would have made them less serious and exposed Wallen to a maximum of up to 11 months and 29 days in jail.
