According to TMZ.com, MÖTLEY CRÜE singer Vince Neil is the subject of a criminal investigation after allegedly attacking a woman in a Las Vegas hotel.
The incident reportedly took place at around 5:00 p.m. Thursday (April 7) at the Aria hotel where the woman approached actor Nicolas Cage and asked him an autograph. Vince then allegedly got behind the woman, grabbed her by the hair and pulled her to the ground.
TMZ.com has posted video footage of the end of a fight between Neil and Cage. The 26-second clip apparently shows Cage trying to restrain Neil and calm him down after taking him outside the hotel to a waiting car. Cage can be seen screaming at the singer, imploring him to cool off.
TMZ.com says that Vince was cited for battery in connection with the incident.
This isn’t Vince’s first brush with the law. Back in 2011, he served 10 days of a 15-day DUI sentence in connection with a June 2010 incident when he was speeding and weaving between lanes on Desert Inn Road west of Paradise Road, near the Las Vegas Strip, authorities said.
In 1984, Neil smashed his car into another vehicle in Redondo Beach, California, killing HANOI ROCKS drummer Nicholas “Razzle” Dingley and seriously injuring two other occupants.
Neil was charged with vehicular manslaughter and driving under the influence of alcohol. His blood alcohol level was 0.17, which was over the legal limit.
Neil served half of a 30 day jail sentence, received five years probation and had to pay $2.6 million in restitution, as well as perform 200 hours of community service.
