POP/ROCK - March 13, 1989

Rock Star Jon Bon Jovi was picked up by police at 3:30 a.m. Friday morning for trespassing on a closed skating rink in New York’s Central Park. Police said Bon Jovi, 27, his girlfriend and another couple were handcuffed by a parks department patrol officer and taken to the Central Park Precinct station house, where they were given summonses for trespassing at Wollman Rink and released within an hour. At the precinct house, Bon Jovi was a hit with police Sgt. Tony Michaled, who told United Press International on Saturday that the singer was “the nicest guy in the world.” Bon Jovi performed with his band at a sold-out concert Friday night in New York.
