David Lee Roth Detains Unwanted Visitor
PASADENA, Calif. - David Lee Roth got an unwanted visitor when a man being chased by police climbed over a fence and tried to hide in the rock star's yard.
The former Van Halen frontman's publicist said Roth used a shotgun to hold the man at bay until police arrived, but police spokeswoman Janet Pope could not confirm that Wednesday.
"He was laying on the grass when our officers arrived," Pope said of the man arrested.
She said Charles Cooley, 47, was being pursued by officers responding to complaints of someone throwing rocks at windows around 2 a.m. Saturday. He was arrested for investigation of amphetamine possession.
Roth publicist Lathum Nelson said the singer stood on his second-floor balcony and pointed a shotgun on the intruder until officers arrived.
"Dave cornered the guy with his shotgun. ... When the cops got there, he put the gun away," Nelson said Wednesday.
