An Alabama Officer Ended Up Behind Bars After Attending A Morgan Wallen Concert
Morgan Wallen is currently out on his 2026 Still the Problem Tour, performing at stadiums across the country night after night.
Thousands of fans have been showing up at each stop to watch one of their favorite country stars perform and enjoy what’s meant to be an unforgettable night.
But for one concertgoer, their night became unforgettable for all the wrong reasons.
An Alabama police officer ended up being escorted out by authorities and arrested after attending a show last month held at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa.
On April 18, officers working the concert were reportedly notified about a man who appeared intoxicated and was disturbing nearby attendees. According to WBRC, the man was later identified as Cody McCullar, a police investigator from Hamilton.
McCullar was reportedly having trouble walking properly as he followed police out of the venue’s seating area to speak with them. During the interaction, he informed them that he was also an officer.
By that point, it was clear that McCullar had too much to drink, so a friend who was with him told authorities he would take him home to avoid any further issues.
But the situation didn’t end there. In fact, that’s when things began to escalate.

According to reports, McCullar continued to get more confrontational with officers and allegedly yelled profanity at them. As the interaction grew more heated and his behavior became increasingly aggressive, authorities placed him under arrest.
When he arrived at the station, McCullar was said to have realized the seriousness of the situation and offered to leave without causing any more problems.
However, by that point, it was too late, and he was charged with public intoxication and resisting arrest. He was later released on a $600 bond.
Following his arrest, McCullar ultimately decided it would be best to resign from his position with the Hamilton Police Department.
“I have a lot of respect for this city and agency. I want them to move forward so they won’t have to deal with this situation, my situation to deal with. I am going to do so and go from there,” McCullar said in a statement.
McCullar is said to be employed by two other police departments. His attorney is reportedly working to persuade the court to allow him to remain in those roles and continue carrying a firearm while out on bond for his misdemeanor charges.
Following his decision to resign, Hamilton Police Chief Jordan Carter showed his support as McCullar moves forward:
“The incident reflects a lapse of judgement. I believe it does not define the entirety of Cody’s character as I know it. He has served his community with dedication and I believe his understanding of those standards played a role in his decision to resign.”
McCullar will have his first court date in June in Tuscaloosa County.
