Wallen said on Twitter that he and some friends were "horse-playing" after a few bar stops.

 

"We didn't mean any harm, and we want to say sorry to any bar staff or anyone that was affected," Wallen tweeted. "Thank you to the local authorities for being so professional and doing their job with class. Love y'all."
