From the trailer park to the Waffle House to the jail house, Kid Rock just doesn't stop.
The self-proclaimed Rock N Roll Jesus landed behind bars in Georgia's DeKalb County for 12 hours on Sunday before being released on a $1,000 U.S. bond for starting a fight in a Waffle House restaurant.
Rock (real name Robert James Ritchie) and his crew were dining at the Waffle House at 5 a.m. Sunday after finishing a show at The Tabernacle in Atlanta. Restaurant patron Harlem DeJon Akins apparently recognized a woman in Rock's posse and approached and began talking to her.
Rock intervened in the conversation and a fight broke out involving Rock, five members of his entourage and Akins. It started in the restaurant and then moved to the parking lot, according to police. Rock and friends left the scene in his tour bus, leaving behind an apparently bruised and slightly cut-up Akins.
Police caught up with the bus a mile from the restaurant. Rock and his boys were taken into custody and charged with battery.
Akins faces a felony charge of second-degree criminal damage to property for allegedly punching and breaking a Waffle House window valued at more than $500.
Rock was playing the Georgia show to promote his new Rock N Roll Jesus album. But his struggle with anger management, including a fight with Tommy Lee at the MTV Music Video Awards last month, has been making as many headlines as the chart-topping release.
Akins was treated at a hospital for minor cuts. None of Rock's entourage needed medical attention.
