UNIVERSAL CITY : Rock Singer, Guards Arrest Each Other After Fight
Vincent Neil, former lead singer for the rock band Motley Crue, and four companions got into a scuffle with security guards at the Universal Amphitheater on Sunday night, which ended with guards and rockers making citizen’s arrests of each other.
Neil, 31, his wife, Sharise Neil, 27, Robert Montejano, 23, and two other men were apparently trying to leave the Bryan Adams concert early via a backstage exit when they were stopped by three guards, said Sheriff’s Deputy Britta Tubbs.
“The officers questioned their presence in the backstage area,” Tubbs said. “Words were exchanged and a fight ensued.”
Neil, his wife, Montejano and one guard were treated at the scene for minor cuts and bruises, she said.
When sheriff’s deputies arrived, Neil and Montejano insisted on placing three security guards under citizen’s arrest for battery, and then the guards placed Neil and Montejano under citizen’s arrest for the same reason, Tubbs said.
All parties were cited and released, she said, and the case is scheduled to be heard in Beverly Hills Municipal Court on Nov. 2.
