Kid Rock Arrested At An Atlanta Waffle House (With Mug Shot)
Kid Rock was arrested in Dekalb county early Sunday morning, after getting into a confrontation with some guy at a Waffle House:
A few hours later, Kid Rock, who calls his genre-bending blend of country, rap and southern rock “hick-Hop,” was arrested after police said he and his entourage beat up a customer — at a local Waffle House.
Rock, whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, was charged with simple battery, as were five other men who were with him.
…
Police said Ritchie was finishing up a post-show meal at a Waffle House on Buford Highway about 5:15 a.m. Sunday when a customer recognized a woman in his entourage and began exchanging words with her.Ritchie joined in the altercation, which soon escalated into a physical fight between the rocker and the man, Harlem DeJon Akins, 39.
Soon, five other men in his entourage — including the guitarist and the bass player in his band, Twisted Brown Trucker — jumped into the fray, and the fight spilled from inside the restaurant into the parking lot, said police spokeswoman Mekka Parish.
When the brawl ended, Ritchie and his group got into their tour bus and left the scene. An officer pulled the bus over at Buford Highway and Lenox Road, and all five men were booked into jail on the misdemeanor battery charge.
The guy that Kid Rock’s entourage beat up is actually facing a stiffer sentence, because he broke a window worth $800. Apparently in Georgia that means he’s looking at a felony criminal damage to property.
So you know, Kid Rock and five of his buddies kick your ass in a Waffle House and you’re facing a harsher charge than any of them. Seems fair.
What self respecting redneck would not throw down and defend his honor in the presence of skanks at the Waffle House? This is so white trash but great media exposure for Kid Rock. He has a new album to pimp and news like this reinforces his “badass” monicker among his fans.
