"In his more than three decades of law practice, Halpern said Hartley’s case was pretty standard in comparison to past spring break crimes. “You see a lot of criminal mischief, battery charges during spring break,” he said."

Here’s a link to a story that’s NOT behind a paywall, like this post’s is.
On Monday, Hartley rushed a man at full speed who was smoking a cigarette in the valet section of the Four Seasons Hotel, 525 N Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd, an arrest report read.
He knocked over the man, whose head hit the ground.
Fort Lauderdale police did not identify the victim, but WSVN 7 News first reported Allen was the man attacked. The 59-year-old’s condition is unknown. He was in town performing with Mötley Crüe at the Seminole Hard Rock on Sunday.
According to the report, an unidentified woman came over to help Allen before Hartley pushed her over and she, too, hit her head. He then dragged the woman back outside the hotel when she tried to escape into the lobby.
Following the attacks, 911 callers reported they apprehended Hartley after he tried to break a restaurant’s window by throwing chairs.
One caller said he seemed “very highly intoxicated.”
It’s that demon rum I tell ya.....
Much better to just shoot him and be done with it.
I love Def Leppard. That accident destroyed the band. Tragic.
Synthetic drum sounds are just not the same.
One armed drummer. Pshaw!
This kid is a piece of shit, and should get at least a year in prison. His rich parents made him super entitled. Let them waste thousands on a lawyer. Put him in jail
Theres no paywall, you just close the sub screen and you can read it.
Sure enough. I’m just used to these paywalls now on most of the major “news” sites. Thanks for the correction.
You are making it seem that the courts will find him not guilty, and come out as a victim.
He may be white, but that won't work for him at all. Just my opinion, so I guess we will see what the outcome is when it is tried.
It if turns out as you seem to think it will, then it's up to the people to become vocal.
I understand that society in general has been desensitized to violence and of course defense lawyers are going to defend, we get it. But as he pointed out , im sure it happens all the time. Jr here might get more than a slap on the proverbial wrist because of who he pushed down, not because his outburst was so gratuitously violent.
In Ohio they are well off.
Yeesh. What an ugly building.
She looks “driven.” But, I’m guessing she’s hatin’ life right about now.
HAHAHAHA!!! I thought the same thing!
Sounded pretty violent to me. The drummer sustained a head injury from hitting the ground, and he pulled the woman threw her on the ground while delivering blows and kicks
