“Did you take the golf cart covers with you?”
This could probably be the most
candid question police officers can throw at Mick Brown after a lawful
encounter on Sunday.
Brown was arrested for DUI, theft
and assault among other chargers according to the Rolling Stone news report. The official police
report stated that several people had already attempted to stop the drummer who
was recklessly driving the vehicle under the influence of alcohol. Brown was
caught while at it – while he was still driving the allegedly stolen golf cart,
which is from Bangor’s waterfront pavilion. The Ted Nugent band performed with
Styx and REO Speedwagon earlier at the venue. An officer also reported that
Brown had two female passengers on board during his driving spree.
An intoxicated Brown tried to
stage an escape with the golf cart when officers attempted a confrontation.
While at it, Mick was able to shove an officer away from the cart before he was
pulled over by another and taken out of the vehicle.
“…As
they attempted to stop Brown, he accelerated past them, past a third officer
and when a security officer got close enough to stop him, Brown allegedly
shoved the officer. At that point two other security officers physically
removed Brown from the cart and placed him on the ground. He was arrested. No
damage was reported to the cart although two traffic cones were damaged, one
still under the cart, significantly so.” The Bangor Maine Police Department
wrote in their Facebook-published police report.
Mick
Brown was transferred to the Penobscot County jail. Later on, he was let off the hook with a $4000 bail for the
accumulated charges. An initial court date is set on 15th of August
this year.
According
to an LA Times article, Ted Nugent has been straightforward in his views on the
law. This singer-guitarist has expressed his intolerance of any liberty
trampling that the government might do to him or his bandmates. Mick Brown’s
story is certainly different, conceding might be appropriate, for now at least.
