ASPEN, Colo. -- A banjo player accused of assaulting another man with his
instrument will get to keep playing while awaiting his trial.
Thirty-three-year-old Joseph Stancato, of Denver, faces second-degree
assault charges after allegedly hitting another man on the head with his
banjo on New Year's Eve. Authorities said Stancato got into an argument with
two men at the Rubey Park bus stop in Aspen.
District Judge James Boyd, on Monday, approved Stancato's request to be
allowed on the road to tour with a band while awaiting his next court date
on Feb. 6.
The banjo is considered "a deadly weapon" under Colorado law, so Stancato
could face prison time, the Aspen Daily News reported.

Why did he hit them.
He could have just played the damn thing and frightened them off.
