Ted Nugent's drummer flees police in golf cart

People are always fleeing police, but usually it's in a vehicle where they have a chance to get away. That wasn't the case for Mick Brown, drummer for Ted Nugent, who tried to make his escape in a golf cart, according to the Bangor, Maine police department.

According to the police department, Brown, 55, reportedly stole a golf cart after a Bangor concert featuring Nugent, Styx and REO Speedwagon at Bangor's waterfront pavilion.

.......................


"As (officers) attempted to stop Brown, he accelerated past them, past a third officer and when a security officer got close enough to stop him, Brown allegedly shoved the officer," the police reported. "At that point two other security officers physically removed Brown from the cart and placed him on the ground."
Brown was arrested and later released on $4,000 bail, and faces a court date of Aug. 15 for charges of operating under the influence of alcohol, driving to endanger, theft, and assault.

But perhaps the best line from the police report reads, "No damage was reported to the cart although two traffic cones were damaged, one still under the cart, significantly so."

1. Will there be a memorial service for the cone?

[Mopar151]

2. Just a vigil

at the request of the Cone family.

21. Well done - I knew the humorists of DU would come through!

3. In the 70s, unless there had been a kilo of coke in the golf cart's glove compartment,

and the cart had been driven off the roof of a hotel into the pool, this wouldn't have made the news.

The old groups just aren't what they used to be.

Disclaimer: I love Styx.

4. I didn't know that stupid was contagious.

They did a study to find out if having lower iq people housed with higher iqs would raise their iqs and it turned out that it didn't. I guess they should have been looking to see if the reverse would be true.

5. Another acid casuality?

[Javaman]

7. so what was the name of the concert tour?

the "Has Beens"?

[RBInMaine]

22. Actually it was a full house of about 8000. REO and Styx were good. Nugent sucked as always.

[VWolf]

8. This has Spinal Tap written all over it

I was expecting to hear that he spontaneously combusted or died in a bizarre gardening accident.

[sarge43]

11. Had to be a Big MacLargehuge pursuit

[KurtNYC]

12. Was he riding the storm out? He thought the golf cart was a "speed wagon"?

If so mister drummer then your was fooling yourself because it was a grand illusion.

(I got those song titles using my computer. Domo arrigato mister roboto.)

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

13. Another celebrity low-speed chase

A rock&roll drummer has made some dumb moves while drunk. Alert the media.

[tanyev]

14. It would have worked if he'd remembered to engage the cloaking device.

[Scairp]

15. Oh my god!

[JI7]

19. Obama's fault

[RBInMaine]

20. I was at that show. Nugent was the sucky warm-up act, but Styx & REO were good.

He also puked up some of his typical idiotic rhetoric along with a lot of very profane language. Gee, his mother would be so proud. That guy is a real asshat. He calls himself "Uncle Ted." Yeah, creepy nutty old uncle no one wants to invite to Thanksgiving nor allow to babysit their kids.

[underpants]

23. WOW Nugent, Styx and REO Speedwagon that sounds as lame as making a getaway in a golf cart

just sayin

[muntrv]

24. Mick used to be in the band Dokken.

I wonder if he misses those days since he's with Ped Nugent.

[marble falls]

25. He thought he was being chased by the Nuge.

[orpupilofnature57]

26. Rednecks with $$$$$$$ YUCK!!!

[GReedDiamond]

27. Worst drummer in the world...

...from the worst band in the world, featuring the world's worst, hack guitarist and chickenhawk/child molester.

They're both degenerate scumsucking shitbags who oughta be in jail, not on tour.

At least Nugent's shit band makes REO Speedwagon and Styx almost sound good in comparison.

[GreenPartyVoter]

28. Would have liked to see REO and Styx, and this guy driving the golf cart. LOL

[NBachers]

29. Reminds me of how we used to call 'em REO Speed Draggin'

[Iggy]

31. Ted and his "Posse" Really

need to step away from the hippie lettuce, whiskey and guns.. it's only a matter of time before
they shoot and kill someone-- hopefully each other
