It sure has been a bad week for pretty-boy crotch rockers. First Richie Sambora goes on a bender and decides it's a perfect time for a daddy-daughter drive down the PCH, getting popped for DUI and possibly being charged with child endangerment. And now Poison drummer Rikki Rockett (he was the one in the Poison Behind the Music that when you saw him you said, "Man, he got fat") was arrested on a "rape warrant." Looks like he really did want action tonight, satisfaction all night. TMZ reports:
The drummer for everyone's fave 80's hair band, Poison, was arrested Monday on a rape warrant out of Mississippi as he got off a flight from New Zealand at LAX.46-year-old Rikki Rockett was busted by the Airport Division of the LAPD as he was going through customs. As the LA Daily News first reported, Rockett, a former hairdresser whose real name is Richard Ream, was transported to the L.A. County Jail, where he was booked on a felony fugitive sexual assault warrant out of Neshoba County, Mississippi. Where Rockett is exactly right now is unknown.
Information about the warrant and specific charges was not immediately available.
Rockett and singer Bret Michaels — high school classmates — founded Poison together. He was in New Zealand to reunite and perform with other original members of the band at Rock2Wellington, a huge heavy metal show.
And here we thought fashion metal was enjoying an upswing, what with Rock of Love and all. What's next? Is Janie Lane going to commit arson down at Uncle Tom's Cabin? Will Kip Winger finally be brought up on statutory rape charges for believing that even though she was only seventeen, she was old enough, old enough for him?
