Kid Rock Fight Number 2 Takes Place at Waffle House

Kid Rock was arrested on charges of misdemeanor battery early yesterday morning in Georgia after he and his entourage allegedly beat up a man at a Waffle House. Kid was released later after spending 12 hours in jail and fposting a $1,000 bond.

Kid Rock was reportedly eating a meal when Harlem DeJon Akins recognized a woman in Rock’s crew and started speaking with her. Rock intervened in the conversation and a fight subsequently broke out between him and Akins, spurring five men who were with Kid to get involved. What has he got to prove? Anyone remember Kid Rock’s fight at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards? 

“He and five members of his entourage were involved in a fight with a male customer inside the Waffle House,” DeKalb County Police Department spokeswoman Mekka Parish told AP. “It escalated to a physical altercation between Kid Rock and that male customer, and moved outside to the parking lot.”

Akins suffered minor cuts and bruises after punching and breaking a window at the Waffle House. When the fight ended, Rock and his crew apparently left in their tour bus and were stopped a mile away from the restaurant. They were taken into custody and charged with battery. The other men in Rock’s crew were George P. Vourvoulias, James W. Murphy, Brian O. Lang, Jason E. Krause and Aaron Julison. Akins faces a felony charge of second-degree criminal damage to property for breaking the window, which was valued at more than $500.

Rock and his group were in town for his Saturday night show at the Tabernacle to hype his new release, Rock N Roll Jesus. While the LP is at the top of the Billboard albums chart, Rock’s public outbursts have been stealing some of the attention.

Beyond the Sunday incident, Rock also made headlines when he scuffled with drummer Tommy Lee at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards in September. Kid later mentioned that a lingering “level of disrespect” between he and Lee had provoked the incident. Pamela Anderson even made a few comments on that one.
