Kid Rock Gets Probation For Waffle House Brawl

Rap-rocker Kid Rock has been sentenced to a year’s probation and also fined $1,000 for a fight he was involved in last fall, at a suburban Atlanta Waffle House.

He was also sentenced to six hours of anger management counseling and 80 hours of community service, after he pleaded no contest to simple battery charge. Four counts of battery were dropped.

“I think my client is satisfied,” attorney Darryl Cohen said, as quoted by E! Online.

He added that Kid Rock, whose real name is Robert J. Ritchie, was “not terribly unhappy” with the sentence.

Ritchie’s bus stopped at the Waffle House following a concert on Oct. 21, at about 5 a.m. One of the band’s members got into an altercation with a fellow Waffle House diner and this resulted in a big fight that spilled into the parking lot. An expensive plate glass window was broken.

Rock and his band tried to retreat in a hurry, but they were chased by police and taken into custody.

Group members Jason E. Krause and James W. Murphy pleaded no contest and received sentences similar to that of Ritchie. Krause was ordered to put in 120 hours of community service, attend 12 anger management classes and pay a $1,320 fine, while Murphy was ordered to serve only 40 hours of community service and ordered to pay the same fine.

In March, Kid Rock made a charity appearance at a Georgia Waffle House, to apologize for the fuss caused in October by signing autographs and auctioning off concert tickets.
