Stripes’ White charged

White Stripes lead singer Jack White was charged Monday with aggravated assault after a fight in Detroit with the lead singer of another band.

White went to a police precinct early Sunday morning and gave a statement saying he struck Von Bondies lead singer Jason Stollsteimer in self defense.

The Dec. 13 fight between White and Stollsteimer began shortly before midnight at the Majestic Theatre Center, where the men were attending a concert.

Wayne County Prosecutor Mike Duggan said Monday that the two had an ongoing disagreement that began after Stollsteimer criticized White’s role in producing the Von Bondies’ first album. White could face a year in prison if convicted.
