[/caption]Vince Neil, front man for the 80’s rock band Motley Crue, made headlines across gossip pages and internet blogs this morning, after he was arrested on charges of driving under the influence in Las Vegas.
Evidently, the former rock star was seen right before his arrest at his Las Vegas Restaurant named 'Vince Neil’s Tres Rios Cantina'.
His wife reportedly made plans to fly to Vegas to bail our Vince out after hearing the reports of his arrest; his bail was set at $2,000.
This is not Neil’s first run-in with law enforcement officials. He has a record that includes a guilty plea on charges that he assaulted a music producer in 2002. He also entered a plea of no contest in 2003 when he was arrested after attacking a prostitute at the Bunny Ranch in Nevada.
This is not even Neil’s first drunk driving arrest; he killed the passenger in his car in a collision he caused in 1984; Neil ended up paying 2.5$ million in damages to the family, and spent 20 days in jail.
The DUI arrest comes a week after Neil declared his sobriety, and announced the release of his biographical tell-all book that details his long time struggle with alcohol and drugs.
His recent announcement angered a lot of individuals who take the sobriety process seriously. This arrest makes a mockery of Vince Neil’s supposed efforts to take sober up after his longtime struggle.
This continues the trend of current - and previously famous - stars driving under the influence, and endangering the general public. These individuals’ fame status does not give them the right to get behind the wheel of a car after consuming alcoholic beverages.
Hopefully, Vince Neil will be held accountable for his poor judgment and dangerous actions, which will send a signal to the rest of the famous community: their status does not give them the right to ignore the law.
