Howie Day Arrested In Boston
Yahoo! Music, Dec 27, 2005 6:00 pm PSTHowie Day was arrested for rowdy behavior last Wednesday (December 21) at Boston's Logan Airport, after allegedly mixing alcohol with a sleeping pill on a plane. According to the Boston Herald, the flight crew told police that Day was verbally abusive, lit matches and kicked the backs of other passengers' seats. Day pleaded innocent when he was arraigned in Boston on Friday (December 23) and was released on personal recognizance. He's due back in court on March 16.
Although Day declined to comment, his lawyer told reporters, "He had a couple of drinks. The pill interacted with the drinks and he became intoxicated. He feels badly if he inconvenienced anyone, or caused any discomfort." The attorney added, "He has and will apologize, and our hope is that we'll be able to resolve this thing as promptly as possible."
This isn't the first time the Maine native has gotten in trouble with the law. In 2004, he was arrested in Madison, Wisconsin for allegedly locking a woman in the bathroom of a tour bus after she refused his sexual advances. He then broke the cell phone of another woman who tried to call police. After the incident, Day told police, "That was probably wrong of me. But I felt violated."
