Kid Rock sued after altercation
A disc jockey has sued Kid Rock for $575,000, claiming the singer punched him at an adult entertainment club in February.
Jerry Campos of Cedar Hill, Tenn., is seeking $500,000 in punitive damages and $75,000 in compensatory damages in the lawsuit filed Monday in Circuit Court.
Nick Stern, a spokesman for Kid Rock, didn’t return a phone call Wednesday seeking comment.
On Monday, the performer pleaded no contest to criminal assault and was given a suspended sentence of 11 months and 29 days in jail. He also was ordered to complete eight hours of anger management classes and pay $180 to replace Campos’ eyeglasses.
