Kenny and Tim Arrested
Barbara Sherrill
here in Houston.
According to Channel 13 news here in Houston. They are very reliable
Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw were arrested last night in Buffallo NY.
Kenny had permission to climb on a deputy sherriffs horse than he took off
on it. Kenny ignored them when they told him to stop. So while the sherriffs
were arresting Kenny, Tim attacked the officers and he was arrested.
Both made bail last night and are on their way to the next show.

Singers Chesney, McGraw Arrested
.c The Associated Press
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - Country music singers Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw were
arrested after Chesney rode away with a Mounted Reserve deputy's horse and
McGraw attacked deputies who tried to corral him, the sheriff's office said.
Chesney had asked to sit on the horse outside the Ralph Wilson Stadium. The
daughter of the deputy who owned the horse gave him permission to do so.
Chesney, 32, mounted the horse and rode off Saturday night, according to a
statement from the Erie County Sheriff's Office. Deputies patrolling the
stadium parking lot ordered him to stop.
When Chesney ignored the orders, the deputies rode after him and pulled him off
the horse, the statement said. The deputies then were attacked by McGraw, 33,
and members of his entourage, according to the statement, which did not
elaborate.
Chesney of Nashville, Tenn., was charged with disorderly conduct and was
released on $100 bail.
McGraw of Brentwood, Tenn., was charged with second-degree assault, obstructing
governmental administration, menacing and resisting arrest. He was released on
$2,500 bail
One of McGraw's employees, Mark Russo, 44, of Hendersonville, Tenn., was
charged with obstructing governmental administration, harassment, disorderly
conduct and resisting arrest. He was released on $500 bail.
McGraw is married to country signer Faith Hill. He has had 14 No. 1 singles,
including ``Indian Outlaw'' and ``Don't Take the Girl.'' He won the top male
vocalist prize at the Academy of Country Music Awards in May.
Chesney's tunes include ``How Forever Feels.''

All I can think of is that photograph on the back of Kenny's last album,
where he's riding a horse on the beach. Ride 'em, cowboy! Who says
there's no country in country music anymore? It's Waylon & Willie all over
again!

conduct, I sure
think that riding off on the horse didn't merit the "stop! or we'll
shoot" routine.
Where the heck was he gonna go with the horse.....to the next gig?

It sounds to me like somebody got a bad ice cube, rather
than just a simple case of differing attitudes on horse-
riding etiquette.

"unnecessary force"... he was told to stop and he didn't. Kenny is lucky
they didn't file theft charges on him. He got real lucky.
And Tim should of stayed out of it. All, he did was make matters worse.

I apologize for tossing a little reality into this "humorous/police
brutality" guessing game, but, what if:
it was your horse?
the horse bucked and Kenny got hurt?
the horse bucked and a bystander got hurt?
Kenny and/or the horse got hit by a car coming around a corner?
How would the Police explain "under reacting" because it was just a
couple of good ole boy Country stars having some fun?

And, as usual, the guy who tries to break things up gets
the worst of it. A friend of mine was in the process of
getting arrested for taunting a dog in the back of a K9
unit outside of a convenience store, when the guy he's
with comes out and tries put a stop to it (yes, alcohol
was an aggravating ingredient). My friend got charged
with disobeying a police officer (he wouldn't step away
from the cruiser when told), and his friend got charged
with resisting arrest and assault because one of the cops
said he shoved him.

Hmm...Exactly what turned you on about seeing people get arraigned? Sounds
dismal to me. I think about a fourth of the police in this country are on some
sort of sick power trip. And I don't believe a word most of them say...as
witness this latest L.A. scandal. Not to mention the fact that the daughter of
the chief cop told Kenny he could get on the horse in the first place. Sounds
more like a gherm screw up to me. And since it was in NY state, Kenny's just
lucky they didn't shoot him. If he'd been black they would have...oh, yeah --
if he'd been black and not a country singer the little chick wouldn't have
said, "Oh, sure -- you can ride him" in the first place.

get material for dumb criminals books. I could write a book on the lame
excuses we heard in court. Some of the folks, I wanted to hang ...but there
are others. We wonder where they get their brains from.
Its like Cops, FireFighters that you may see laughing at scene of some sort.
They are not laughing at the situation..they are laughing to keep from
losing it. Yes, they had to develop a strange sense of humor in order to
get through somethings. If they didn't ...they would crack. Same can be said
about anyone that is around doom and gloom quit abit.
Yep, many officers, have a power trip thing going, I know many of them and I
stay away from them when I can. I don't respect the officers that, think
they are better than the rest of the world. even those that arrest the perps
that I dealt with in the court room .
Well, I can't wait to see what the investigation has to say more on the
girl, telling KC he could get on to a horse. Here, they DO NOT allow anyone
on the horses and for this very reason. KC is lucky they didn't charge him,
with stealing a horse. He got off with a slap on the wrist so far. This
thing is far from over.

Well, Duh! Was either of the folks you mention aware that interferring with a

could "ride off into the sunset" with the horse. Unless we know all the facts,
it's ridiculous to say either side is right or wrong.
It is, however, a mere matter of common sense not to interfere with a police
officer who is doing his job. (Not saying cops are always right - just that

I agree with you two, I certainly don't condone assaulting a
police officer, BUT I do think it might be wise to get the entire
story, before we start burning their CD's. There are usually
two sides to the story. My initial reaction is that what Kenny
did probably wouldn't have warranted more than a lecture, or at
most a citation. However, cops tend to get pretty ticked off when
someone physically attacks them. Like Steve said, they might
not always be right, but they are always the cops.

I have and have stated several times, that I have a country artist as a
cousin ... on my dad's side of the family... I don't even hold him as a
positive influence for children.. He is a great guy, but that is where it
ends.
Now on mom's side of the family one of my cousins is married to a pro
football player, whom I have met and just fallen in love with. He is a
positive influence on my oldest son. This cousin in law, has helped him
understand the importance of grades thorugh out the years. Come to find out,
one of his team mates cousins is one of my son's classmates... he brought a
letter from cuz in law to my son... letting him know he was thinking about
him and praying for him.. if a celb has to be an influence that is the kind
our children need.
But, I will still stand by my claim and say.... the influences should be
God, parents and teachers. People directly in our lives.

David Allen Coe, Johnny Paycheck, Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard......I think we

like to know the crime they were accused of)
I think the stars all live in a prison of their own. They have their fame,
but they lack the everyday freedom the we all have. They can't go out in
public without being annoyed by fans and reporters. I don't envy them at
all. If they were 2 ordinary guys, they wouldn't have made the news. They

I am glad they finally did something wild and crazy for a change.
Especially Tim. He's been acting too much like a wussy lately playing
Mr. Faith Hill and singing sappy crappy songs and duets with the better
half. I'm thinking alcohol probably contributed to his poor judgment in
reacting to the situation. Alcohol, when combined with testosterone and
adrenaline, often means trouble. I know.

That's very similar to what I was thinking today. An awful lot
of artists experience a time when their ego's get a little "out
there". It doesn't mean they're jerks, just human. They get so
much praise and adulation, and of course everyone on their
payroll is going to go along with whatever they want, it's hard
to keep their feet on the ground. The smart ones and, I suspect,
the ones who are basically decent human beings usually come
back to earth after awhile, and sometimes something like this
is a great wake-up call. From everything I've heard about those
two, they're decent people and I seriously doubt this is going to
have any impact on their careers. They will probably pay a fine,
at most, and move on.

I've been reading this thread and getting a chuckle or two from some of the
posts, but I think we country fans should keep things in perspective. What
Kenny and Tim did was wrong, but compare it to what has happened among
performers in other genres of music. I won't get into specifics, cause I don't
want to be accused of anything; you all know what I'm talking about, I'm
sure.....

McGraw charged with assaulting deputy
Tim McGraw was one of the lead acts at country music festival.
By MARY PASCIAK
News Staff Reporter
6/4/00
Country music star Tim McGraw was charged with assaulting an Erie County
sheriff's deputy just after the singer had finished his set during
Saturday's concert at Ralph Wilson Stadium in Orchard Park.
The debacle started in the parking area for the performers' buses shortly
after 8 p.m., when the daughter of Capt. James Coyle, who oversees the
Sheriff's Department's mounted division, gave country singer Kenny Chesney
permission to sit on her father's horse.
"After he got on the horse, he started to walk away with it," said Chief
Thomas Staebell. "She told him to stop, but he wouldn't."
Chesney proceeded about 100 yards astride the horse before Sgt. Mark Rokitka
and Deputy Art Litzinger spotted him as they drove through the parking lot.
Rokitka told Chesney to get off the horse, but he refused, Staebell said.
"(Rokitka) reached up to get him off the horse, and that's when the
(Litzinger) was assaulted by McGraw," the chief said.
A scuffle ensued between the deputy, the sergeant, the two country
performers and one of McGraw's managers, Mark Russo, Staebell said. The
three men were subdued and taken into custody at the Sheriff Department's
command post at the Windom Hill Fire Hall on Abbott Road.
As of midnight, they were still being held there while authorities waited
for Elma Town Justice M. William Boller to arraign them. Normally, suspects
arrested at the stadium are arraigned in Orchard Park, but the town justices
were not available Saturday night, Staebell said.
McGraw, 33, of Brentwood, Tenn., was the only one of the three charged with
a felony count: assaulting a police officer. He also was charged with
obstruction of governmental administration, resisting arrest and menacing.
Chesney, 32, of Nashville, Tenn., was charged with disorderly conduct.
Russo, 44, of Hendersonville, Tenn., was charged with resisting arrest,
disorderly conduct, obstruction of governmental administration and
harassment. The deputies were treated for minor injuries at at nearby
clinic.
McGraw and Chesney were among the headline performers of the George Strait
Country Music Festival, an all-day concert that attracted about 50,000 to
the Orchard Park stadium.
McGraw is the son of former major league relief pitcher Tug McGraw. Born in
Delhi, La., he came to music late in life, buying a guitar at a pawn shop
while in school.
McGraw has been one of country's hottest acts. In 1995, he chose a relative
unknown named Faith Hill to open his tour for him; within a year, they were
married. Soon Hill's career also took off, and the couple have two young
daughters.
Chesney is a native of Knoxville, Tenn., who grew up in Lutrell, Tenn. He
was in a rock band in his teens, but switched to country music after hearing
"That's the Way Love Goes" by Merle Haggard on the radio.
Since his 1993 debut album, "My Wildest Dreams," Chesney has recorded five
albums.

OK...and my point is that neither Tim nor Kenny could be labeled "bubble
gum country." No matter what you personally think of them, their fans, or
their music. There are plenty of other artists who might go in that
category ahead of them.

Who ever said these guys are influences? They're just a couple of country
singers. If people choose to look up to country singers as some form of
lifestyle influence, they're destined to live in a bar. Personally, I
think this incident will help Tim & Kenny's album sales.

*Wrong.* You seem to have fallen for that urban legend that Cash got the
inspiration for his songs by "doing time." He didn't. He was arrested
for drugs once and for drunk/disorderly a few times but he never spent
more than a night in jail.

I think you're really exaggerating this. Who broke which laws? Kenny had
someone's permission to ride the horse. It didn't take place in the
parking lot. It took place backstage, which is supposed to be a controlled
location. And from what I read, the police over-reacted, and possibly so
did McGraw. I expect when this matter will be dropped very soon. The only
injuries here fall in the area of pride.

And the facts in this case are that neither McGraw nor Chesney spent even
that much in jail. They were out on bail within six hours, on their way to
their next show. I've heard that Chesney was on stage on time, and in
great voice, by 4 PM Sunday afternoon.

And just when do you expect to get hired to be Tim's official apologist? You

When did "permission to sit on the horse" become "permission to ride away on
the horse?" If you can't even read the article and get the facts straight, you
shouldn't comment on the case.

Actually, the simple act of laying a hand on anyone is assault. You should have
seen management's reaction one day, when a supervisor grabbed me and tried to
take me somewhere. I went back to work; he got his ass chewed up one side and
down the other!

You seem to be the only source of this "fact." All the news reports have stated
that the incident took place in the parking lot. Care to substantiate your
claim that it took place backstage?

So, if I fail to recognize that a red light means stop, drive through the
intersection, and kill someone, it's okay, cause I didn't do it

No he had someone's permission to SIT on the horse. I have had press releases
coming in off and on all day and that was addressed in at least one newspaper
where it clearly states that the lady told him NOT to ride the horse. Some of
the articles have a lot more detail then others but most have mentioned that.
Several tell that she told him to stop when he started moving away but that he
continued to ride away.
> It didn't take place in the

Yes it did. The first reports didn't go into details and I assumed they chased
him on horseback since it was a mounted patrol but later stories said that the
police apprehending him had to go after him in their cruiser. I doubt they did
that backstage.

Tim has been charged with felony assault as well as three misdemeanors -
resisting arrest, menacing and obstructing governement administration. While
its very possible they may dismiss charges since I doubt he has ever done
anything like this before its also possible they may make an example of him
since he did hit a police officer.

Don't let that hat confuse you, it started with his career. He never was a
cowboy. He rides a motorcycle but not a horse.
I have his first record from his pre Arista days and you should get a listen to
it if you want to hear something. Its hard to find though. I understand he
has worked to get as many copies out of circulation as he could and it doesn't
show up on his discography. Even though he really is from Georgia, AJ didn't
even have that Southern drawl then. I'm not sure if he was working hard to sing
without it on this particular record and later decided to be who he is or if
the drawl came on later. It sounds like a completely different guy signing and
I swear there is only a couple of places on the entire CD that he sounds at all
like he does now.
