Kid Rock (Robert Ritchie) was arrested early Sunday morning after a spat at a Georgia waffle house. Fox 5 News in Atlanta indicated that Kid Rock was eating at approximately 5:15 in the morning when Harlen Akins, recognized a female member of Rock's entourage. A verbal altercation progressed and moved out into the parking lot. A fight allegedly ensued. Kid Rock and his "boyz" apparently left. Police subsequently pulled over Kid Rock's tour bus.
Kid Rock and five passengers were arrested and charged with battery. He posted bond by 5 PM. Akins was charged with felony assault and second degree criminal damage to property.
What ever happened to the lessons we used to teach kids that sticks and stones may break our bones, but names and faces will never harm us?
Update 7-24-08: Singer Kid Rock was sentenced Tuesday to one year of probation, fined $1,000 and ordered to complete 80 hours of community service. In addition, he has to complete 6 hours of anger management courses. He was represented by Darryl Cohen. Kid pled no contest to one count of simple battery, a misdemeanor. Guitarist Jason Krause, received a similar sentence.
Akins was charged with one felony count of second degree criminal damage to property for breaking the window.

Just another example of todays stars not being able to handle normal social interactions.

All these celebs are disgusting.
Harlen Akins just wanted 10 minutes of fame!
I wish these famous people realized how much their behaviors encourage young kids to model after them . . . I heard that two of the Jena 6 were special guests at a Music Awards Show. Great - beat the crap out of an innocent kid and get this reward!
Ms. Calabaza you are correct! It is disturbing what poor role models these folks are for the children.
What's the story Ritchie? You still have not learned...
May Kid Rock's face break out in pimples...

HA was already famous...keep it on the low HA...
seashe, there is a difference between being famous and being infamous! There are folks on this board who make Kid Rock look like "kid brother."
Now to the point.The verbal altercation was acceptable. Physical confrontation was not necessary and actually shows just caveman mentality, especially at 5 a.m. How can so called "stars" set decent examples like this?

Spoiled Brats, both Richie and Akins!
Akins is a wanna be...
And Richie is spoiled, so what?
