Too $hort Arrested
From the Idaho Statesman:
Atlanta-based rapper Too Short and one of his associates were briefly jailed early Thursday after Boise police say they got into a fight with security workers at the Knitting Factory concert club following a concert.
The 44-year-old Todd Shaw (Too Short) is charged with three counts of misdemeanor battery and associate Michael T. Walton, 38, of Modesto, Calif., is charged with two counts of misdemeanor battery. Both were taken to the Ada County Jail early Thursday, where they were released after posting bond.
Boise police were called to the Knitting Factory just after 11 p.m. Wednesday to investigate a report of a fight. Three employees of the club who work security told police they had been punched, kicked and pushed by Shaw and Walton.
Witnesses told police the fight began after those security employees told Shaw club policy forbid him from taking females under age 21 backstage and into his dressing room, according to police reports.
None of the three security employees were seriously injured, police officials said.
Shaw and Walton have court dates scheduled for Aug. 4.
The charge of misdemeanor battery is punishable by up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.

Terry Kennedy – Angela Yee Interview
Fly Society’s Terry Kennedy (yes, that one) breaks down subjects from his family to his ex with Angela Yee. BTW, I’ll give this the benefit of the doubt and assume this is an old picture, but they’re still doing fake grills on the West Coast? Just askin’. Because he looks like a damn idiot. Pause.
