An arrest warrant has been issued for country music artist Bailey Zimmerman in New Mexico following an incident at the Sandia Resort and Casino in Albuquerque on May 27. The warrant, filed on June 18 in Bernalillo County, includes a felony charge of criminal damage to property and a misdemeanor charge of falsely obtaining services.

Incident Timeline

According to court documents, Zimmerman arrived for a sound check on May 27 prior to a scheduled concert at the resort. Reports indicate he was visibly intoxicated and destroyed equipment, including throwing microphones and instruments, and left the stage multiple times.

He later returned to the resort, where he is reported to have spat toward a security guard and had a bloody knee while being supported by another person. The resort removed him, and he subsequently canceled his concert that evening.

In an Instagram post, Zimmerman stated he had not been feeling well and needed to reschedule shows on May 27 and May 30.

The following day, hotel staff reported damage to the room occupied by Zimmerman. Items damaged or missing included:

• A television
• A phone
• Furniture (coffee table and two chairs)
• A hole in a wall
• Damage to other walls
• Carpet stains

Total damage to the room was estimated at $16,000. Additionally, the resort reported an unpaid alcohol bill of $400.

Legal Proceedings

Court documents indicate that both resort employees and police attempted to contact Zimmerman and his representatives without response, leading to the issuance of the arrest warrant. Fox News Digital sought comment from Zimmerman's representative but did not receive a response.
