Eric Church‘s Nashville bar has officially responded to Morgan Wallen‘s arrest at the venue.

The Chief’s official Instagram account shared a photo on Tuesday (April 9) of a new sign outside the establishment that reads: “Our pigs fly, our chairs don’t.” See the post here.

The slogan is seemingly in reference to the chart-topping country singer getting arrested for allegedly throwing a chair off the six-story roof the Broadway Street bar. Two Metro Nashville Police Department officers were reportedly standing below on the street when the chair landed just three feet from them. They then reportedly spoke with bar staff and witnesses, as well as reviewed security footage to confirm Wallen’s alleged action.
