Ejected Scotty McCreery Concertgoer Could Face Criminal Charges After Allegedly Hitting a Woman

During a recent Colorado show, Scotty McCreery didn’t hesitate to oust a concertgoer after the man allegedly hit a woman in the crowd. Now, that man could face criminal charges on top of the humiliation of being branded a “coward” by the country singer.

Victim Declined Further Medical Attention

Colorado authorities are considering criminal charges against a man following an Aug. 24 incident that prompted Scotty McCreery to boot him from the country singer’s concert in Pueblo, Colorado.

Authorities did not arrest the man. However, charges have been referred to the Pueblo County District Attorney’s office, a spokeswoman for the Colorado Department of Agriculture told FOX21.

Paramedics evaluated the woman, who declined to go by ambulance to the hospital, the spokeswoman said.

Scotty McCreery Halts Concert, Blasts “Coward” Who Allegedly Hit Woman

Last Saturday (Aug. 24), Scotty McCreery took the stage at the Colorado State Fair in Pueblo. However, the American Idol champ hadn’t made it through the first line of his opening song (“It Matters to Her”) when he witnessed a man in the crowd allegedly punch a woman.

McCreery, 30, was having none of that. “Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Right here, right here,” said the “Five More Minutes” singer, pointing in the direction of the incident. “That’s a lady you just hit, sir.

“Absolutely not. Who just hit the lady?” McCreery continued over the crowd’s growing rancor.

Amid chants of “Get him out!” the Grand Ole Opry member called for security to remove the man. “Is she okay? Get the heck out of here,” he said.

Incredulously, McCreery continued, “What on God’s green earth? At a Scotty McCreery show? What are you doin’?”

The season 10 Idol winner urged concertgoers to let police know who had hit the woman. “Whoever you are, that’s the definition of a coward, hitting a lady,” McCreery said. He then reiterated: “Get the heck out of here.”

Video of the incident circulated on social media, where users praised the country star’s actions. “I haven’t even thought about Scotty McCreery since I was obsessed with him in 2011, but I think I just fell in love with him all over again,” one fan wrote on TikTok.
