LOUISVILLE, Ky. — C. C. DeVille of the rock group Poison was arrested and jailed for seven hours before giving a concert, appropriately, at Freedom Hall.
DeVille, 28, was arrested Saturday at a lounge after jumping on the hood of a car, police said. The musician was jailed on charges of alcohol intoxication and criminal mischief.
The band will pay for damage to the car, Scotty Ross, Poison’s road manager, said.
Dennis Fischer, the lounge’s security manager, said DeVille left the building and sprawled across the car hood. Then he “ate some roses” and “two or three things got out of hand,” Fischer said.
“It wasn’t nothing you don’t see anywhere else in town,” Fischer said.
