Fight apparently started over music DJ was playing (what, not enough country music)?
From Reuters:
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Reuters) - Singer Kid Rock was arrested early on Wednesday and charged with assault following a fight at a bar, police said.
The 33-year-old entertainer, who had sung Tuesday at the funeral of country songwriter Merle Kilgore at the Ryman Auditorium, was booked under his real name -- Robert James Ritchie -- when brought into night court, police spokesman Don Aaron said.
The complaint against him was filed by Jerry Campos, a DJ who was working at Christy's Cabaret when a squabble developed. Campos said he was struck by Rock in the eye and that a security tape recorded the incident.
The rock singer was arrested at the apartment of a friend about two hours later and, surrounded by reporters, exchanged jokes as he was booked. Police described him as "extremely friendly and cooperative."
Bond was posted at $3,000 on the misdemeanor charge and the singer left for Detroit. He was to return to Nashville on March 30 to face the charge in court.
Here's his mugshot:
