Fozzy Singer Chris Jericho Arrested For Being Drunk In Public

posted Jan 28, 2010 at 10:16 AM by Diamond Oz.  (17 Comments)

Chris Jericho, the lead vocalist of heavy metal outfit Fozzy and wrestler for World Wrestling Entertainment, was arrested at five a.m. this morning in Kenton County, Kentucky along with fellow wrestler Gregory Helms for the charge of Alcohol Intoxication In A Public Place. Both were bonded out of jail after little more than an hour.

A Twitter update from Jericho a few hours before he was arrested read: "Listening to ZAKK WYLDE and having a GG contest with Hurricane. It's the woods vs the praries. Praires are winning."

The law is in place to attempt to stop anyone who seems drunk enough that they may be a danger to themselves, others or property or being an annoyance. A small fine is usually issued for the first charge, between $25 and $50.

HAHAHA!! Break the walls doooooooownnn! I haven't watched wrestling for one hell of a long time but I remember way back in the day when I did Jericho was on stage and he often talked about his band Fozzy. Didn't think they'd actually make a name for themselves...thought it was sort of a joke at the time.

Hell yes, this is what made Rock and Metal famous! Too bad it was in the backwoods. I hardly think that he was a danger to anyone. Especially himself! Just small town police acting as such!

Is public drunkeness a crime these days?
Jeez... You're not allowed to do anything fun anymore. No swearing, nothing even remotedly related to s e x, or even boozing. Where's this world coming to? I bet they'll ban metal pretty soon as well. Heard it's already banned in most muslim countries

Yeah he was born in New York but his family moved back to Canada when he was very young. He holds both American and Canadian citizenships. Edmonton, Alberta is where Chris Benoit was from and the Hart family along with Lance Storm are from Calgary, Alberta.

Nihilist: One and the same. lol. I'm not into it but my drummer is a fanatic. Pays for every pay-per-view (like $50 a pop) and goes to see them every time they come to town (another $50 bucks). He drug me to one once and I found that it was a perfect excuse to get drunk and crack on all the hicks. Got my a$$ beat, but I had a great time.
