Scotty McCreery played the Colorado State Fair over the weekend, and right out of the gate he had to shut down bad behavior. In a viral video posted by a fan, Scotty was singing the beginning bars of “It Matters to Her” when he suddenly calls out someone in the crowd. McCreery asked for authorities to remove a man who he saw hit a woman. The “Damn Strait” singer had choice words for the man, calling him a coward. The man ended up on the receiving end of some vigilante justice from some nearby concertgoers before being escorted out. Colorado State Fair officials confirmed there was an alleged assault reported and it is under investigation.
