Country singer Bailey Zimmerman faces a felony criminal damage charge after authorities allege he damaged a hotel room in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Multiple outlets report that the alleged incident occurred around the time of a scheduled May 27 performance at the Sandia Resort and Casino, which Zimmerman canceled due to illness. Following the cancellation, police were called to the property, where they allegedly found extensive damage.
According to reports cited by outlets including Billboard, the damage is estimated at about $16,000. Accounts describe alleged property destruction such as a smashed television and missing or damaged furniture. TMZ is referenced by at least one outlet as the source for the damage estimate.
Billboard and other coverage indicate Zimmerman is facing a felony charge tied to the alleged damage amount. Other outlets also characterize the case as involving an arrest warrant or felony warrant for Zimmerman, based on the investigation into the May incident. The reports present the allegations and do not include information about a court outcome or Zimmerman's response.
