Metro Council on Tuesday night voted down a resolution that would have approved an exterior neon sign bearing Morgan Wallen’s name for his soon-to-open downtown bar and honky-tonk.

District 19 Councilmember Jacob Kupin said the sign approval came across his desk about the time Wallen was arrested in April for throwing a chair from the roof of Eric Church’s six-story bar. At the time, Metro Nashville Police tweeted that Wallen was booked on three counts of felony endangerment and one misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct. Wallen is set to appear in court on August 15.
