Kid Rock gets probation
DECATUR, Ga. (AP) - July 22, 2008 The DeKalb County solicitor's office says the 37-year-old was
also sentenced Monday to six hours of anger management counseling
and 80 hours of community service.
The entertainer, whose real name is Robert J. Ritchie, pleaded
no contest to one count of simple battery. Four counts of battery
were dropped.
Ritchie's tour bus stopped at the Waffle House about 5 a.m. on
Oct. 21 after a performance in downtown Atlanta. An exchange of
words with a customer escalated into a fight that spilled from the
restaurant into the parking lot.
A message seeking comment was left Tuesday for Ritchie's
attorney.
