His attorney, Worrick Robinson, confirmed the arrest, telling CBS News in a statement that the singer is cooperating with authorities.
Wallen's bond was set at $15,250. He is scheduled to appear in court on May 3. His arrest comes as he kicks off his One Night At A Time tour on Friday at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. He will be in Nashville for his concert May 2-4.
On Sunday, his fellow country music stars celebrated the win at Country Music Television Awards In Austin, Texas. Wallen's music video for “Last Night” was nominated for Male Video of the Year, but lost Jelly Roll, creator of the “Need a Favor” video. He won it instead.
