Megan Christopherson was in the pit area of the July 10 show with her 4-month-old child when she was approached by officers from the Chula Vista Police Department. In a video captured by a bystander, they’re heard telling the woman to either sit in seats they’d designated for her, or to leave. She chose to leave. Police say they were simply worried about the safety of her child, as it can be very loud so close to the speakers.
When speaking with the Frogmen in the Morning show Friday on CBS Radio's KFRG 95.1 FM/92.9FM in San Bernardino, CA, Paisley maintains that the police did the right thing.
“It seemed to me … it sure seemed that she did the absolute wrong thing.” the country star says. “She’s probably picked the wrong fight.”

Paisley was performing during the incident and didn’t even see it happen. He stresses that he had “nothing to do with [it],” and while none of his people were involved, he did enough research to reach his own conclusion. “From what I was told by the authorities, according to the police it had nothing to do with breastfeeding at all,” he says adamantly, adding, “Nothing.”
Paisley saw the YouTube video (which has since been taken down) of the confrontation and says the cops handled it professionally and that “it didn’t look like they were mean.” In the clip, police are overheard saying, “Your child doesn’t have hearing protection on. The crowd is going to start surging forward. Where you’re at, your child can get crushed.”
Paisley, a father himself, absolutely understands their concern.
