Boy George is in trouble – again. It seems he’s recently been charged in London with false imprisonment (seriously?) stemming from a complaint lodged in April by a 28 year old guy who said George chained him to a wall.
Wait…Wha?
Metropolitan police spokesman Andrew Newman told CNN that the former Culture Club lead singer (real name George O’Dowd), was charged on Monday after appearing with his attorney at a London police station. Newman told the news outlet that the singer was first arrested in April for an alleged incident in East London.
NME.com reported back in April that George is being accused of handcuffing a guy to a hook on a wall of his home.
O’Dowd was released on bail and ordered to appear in Thames Magistrates Court on November 22.
The Massachusetts priest who has been accused of stalking Conan O’Brien has found himself in a Brookline hospital.
WCVB-TV in Boston reported that the stalker, David Ajemian, was taken into custody by Boston police on Saturday night, several hours after his family had reported him missing, homicidal and suicidal. Boston police told the television station that Ajemian was reunited with his family and would be hospitalized for mental problems.
Ajemian was arrested on November 2 in New York for trying to enter a taping of “Late Night with Conan O’Brien” in defiance of a restraining order issued when he was accused of sending the talk show host several letters, beginning last September.
On Friday, a New York judge found Ajemian fit to stand trial. He was was released after posting $2,500.00 bond.
WCVB-TV also reported that both O’Brien and Ajemian attended Harvard at the same time, however no word yet on if the two men ever met while they were students.
On Thursday, police used a battering ram and smashed in the front door of the London home of British pop singer Amy Winehouse and her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, who were not home at the time. The police did however, arrested Fielder-Civil later, after he was found in Bow, east London, in connection with an alleged plot to fix a trial. Four other men, who ranged in age from 19 to 25, were also arrested at separate locations during the same operation.
The Daily Mail has reported that Winehouse watched in tears as police handcuffed her husband, claiming she shouted to officers on the scene that she wanted to go with him, however the singer was not arrested.
Winehouse’s mother-in-law, Georgette Fielder-Civil, later told the paper that the singer was “totally distraught and too upset to talk.”
It’s being reported that Fielder-Civil had been plotting to stop his and friend Michael Brown’s trial after they were accused of assaulting a barman. Allegedly, Fielder-Civil and Brown had planned to pay cash to the victim, James King, on the basis that he either withdraw his statement or they would take him abroad so the trial wouldn’t take place. Sources say the police were tipped off about the plot by a newspaper.
According to a spokesman for the police:
“A thorough investigation is being carried out into claims of conspiracy to pervert justice in connection with a trial, three men have been arrested and are being questioned. We’re expecting to make further arrests.”
Nick Bollea turned himself into Clearwater police in Florida early this morning after he was charged with reckless driving involving serious bodily injury. He is currently being booked into the Pinellas County Jail.
The Clearwater Police Department has released details of their investigation into the August 26 crash in which Hogan and his friend, John Graziano were involved in a one-car accident that caused Graziano to succumb to severe brain injuries. Doctors say Graziano will likely require specialized care for the rest of his life.
In addition to being arrested for reckless driving, police cited Bollea for use of a motor vehicle in the commission of a felony, a person under the age of 21 operating a vehicle with a breath-alcohol level of .02 or higher and having an illegal window tint. Police also concluded that although Bollea and a second car were racing right before the crash, the driver of the second car was not a direct cause of the accident.
Bollea was going 60 mph in a 40 mph zone when he lost control of his Toyota Supra and hit a palm tree.
