Bailey Zimmerman has found himself in hot water as New Mexico authorities look to charge the country singer with felony criminal damage, Fox News Digital can confirm.
A felony warrant for criminal damage was filed on June 18 in Bernalillo County.
Prosecutors are looking to slap Zimmerman with a felony charge for criminal damage to property and a misdemeanor charge of falsely obtaining services, TMZ reported.
Court docs, obtained by the outlet, revealed the charges stemmed from an incident that allegedly occurred on May 27. Zimmerman had been scheduled to perform at the amphitheater at Sandia Resort and Casino in Albuquerque but canceled his concert at the last minute.

According to TMZ, Zimmerman allegedly showed up to sound check visibly intoxicated and proceeded to throw microphones, instruments and other items on the ground before storming off-stage multiple times.
Zimmerman then returned to the resort after allegedly spitting towards a security guard, stumbling with a bloody knee and had to be supported by someone he was with. Ultimately, the resort kicked him out and the country music star had to cancel his concert at the last minute. At the time, he claimed he had “not been feeling well.”

“”Y’all know there’s nothing I love more than getting out on the road and playing these shows for you,” he wrote on Instagram. “So it’s so hard for me to have to say this, but I have to reschedule tonight’s (5/27) and Saturday’s (5/30) shows.
“I have not been feeling well and have tried to power through, but I’m not able to give you all the show you deserve. I hate letting y’all down and was really looking forward to these shows, but I gotta take care of myself so I can get back out there stronger,” he continued.
Zimmerman allegedly fought security before eventually leaving the resort.
But according to court documents, housekeeping discovered the artist’s room in disarray the following day – with the hotel estimating the damage at roughly $16,000.

The alleged damage included a television, phone, coffee table and two chairs. Resort staff also reported a hole in one wall, damage to several others, stains on the carpet and two missing chairs.
The hotel further claimed Bailey racked up more than $400 in alcohol charges during his stay but never paid the bill.
Court records state that both resort employees and police attempted to contact the singer and members of his team to address the incident, but received no response – ultimately prompting authorities to seek an arrest warrant.
Fox News Digital reached out to Zimmerman’s representative for comment.
