Black Sabbathin basisti Geezer Butler joutui ”vanhaan kunnon baaritappeluun” kalifornialaisessa Corkscrewin saluunassa 27. tammikuuta. Niinhän siinä kävi, että poliisit saapuivat paikalla ja mies vietiin putkaan.
Virkavallan raportti näyttää seuraavalta:
”Shortly after midnight on January 27th, Sheriff’s Dispatch received a call regarding a verbal and physical altercation that took place at the Corkscrew Saloon located at the Furnace Creek Ranch property in Death Valley National Park.
After the Inyo County Sheriff’s Deputy arrived on scene and interviewed witnesses, it was determined that there had been an argument that escalated into a physical confrontation — resulting in an individual being struck, and a broken window.
Terence Michael Butler, a 65-year old man from Beverly Hills, California, was arrested for misdemeanor assault, public intoxication and vandalism.”
Butler, on nyt kommentoinut tapausta Twitterissä – tai siis ”epäonnista sanaharkkaa”. Geezerin viesti on lyhyt ja ytimekäs: ”Thx for your messages & support following the unfortunate altercation that occurred.”
