Charges have been dropped against Bailey Zimmerman, the country singer who was accused of trashing his hotel room at the Sandia Resort and Casino in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in May.

In a statement to Rolling Stone on Wednesday, his attorney confirmed that the charges were dropped after Zimmerman “took immediate responsibility for his mistake.” His lawyer added, “We are grateful to the Pueblo of Sandia and the District Attorney’s Office for this just and swift resolution.”

According to documents previously obtained by Rolling Stone, an arrest warrant was issued for the country singer, 26, in June after he allegedly caused $16,000 in damage to a room including a hole in a wall and a broken telephone. Zimmerman was facing charges of a fourth-degree felony for criminal damage to property over $1,000 and a misdemeanor for falsely obtaining services.

The Bernalillo County District Attorney’s Office said his case was dismissed because full restitution was made, KRQE reported.

News of the dropped charges arrived a day after Zimmerman, a former gas-pipeline worker who found fame on TikTok with songs like “Never Comin’ Home,” apologized for the incident.

“I want to apologize to the Pueblo of Sandia and to everyone at Sandia Resort & Casino. I never meant for any of this to come across as disrespectful. I am deeply sorry for my actions that transpired. I respect your community and the hospitality and appreciate the opportunity that was given to me to perform on Native Land,” Zimmerman wrote in a statement shared with Rolling Stone. “I take full accountability for everything that happened and I am sorry to anyone who feels hurt or disrespected.”

England Player Suffers ‘Serious’ Wrist Injury After Singing ‘Wonderwall’ at World Cup

England advanced to the quarterfinals of the World Cup last night (July 5) with a dramatic 3 – 2 win over Mexico at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City. It was a massive victory as Mexico’s men’s national team has lost just two out of 89 matches at the Azteca, and England played much of the second half with 10 men following a red card in the 54th minute.

As such, the celebrations at the final whistle were immense. As has become tradition, the England players rushed over to their fans, where everyone belted Oasis’ “Wonderwall,” which has become something of an unofficial anthem. But after the singalong, veteran midfielder Jordan Henderson managed to injure his wrist, and had to be stretchered off the field. (Henderson not only hurt himself, but also got a yellow card from the bench, despite not having played a single minute during the game.)

Why Taylor Swift Invited 1,000 Guests to Her Wedding: ‘Everyone I’ve Ever Talked to’

If it seemed like everyone Taylor Swift has ever met attended her wedding to Travis Kelce at Madison Square Garden that’s because the singer always planned a huge guest list. The couple welcomed hundreds of people to the New York City venue on July 3, including A-listers from the music industry, sports world, and Hollywood.

But, according to an interview with Swift last year, this was the plan all along. The singer appeared on The Graham Norton Show to promote The Life of a Showgirl in October, appearing on the talk show alongside Cillian Murphy, Greta Lee, Jodie Turner-Smith, Domhnall Gleeson, and Lewis Capaldi. During the interview, host Graham Norton asked if the wedding would take place in 2026.
