Agents of the Alcoholic Beverage Commission entered the Tin Roof bar around 8:30 p.m. Monday to complete a compliance check, according to the arrest affidavit obtained by Fox News Digital.

An agent approached Young, who was holding his ID card above his head. After checking the ID for age requirements, the agent handed the card back to the country music singer, who then began asking the agents questions.

While asking questions, Young was recording the ABC agents, the document states.

After completing the check, the agents moved on to another bar to continue completing compliance checks. Young and a group of people followed the agents to Dawg House, the bar next door.

While attempting to leave the establishment, an agent said Young put out his arm to block his exit and allegedly struck him. The ABC agent said he pushed the musician back to create distance and other bar patrons became involved.

Young had to be physically detained with handcuffs while his associates continued to make the situation hostile, according to the ABC affidavit: "Mr. Young's eyes were blood shot and watery as well as having blurred speech."
