Kid Rock Gets One Year Probation for Waffle Scuffle

(andPOP) - Waffles weren’t on the menu for Kid Rock on Tuesday when he was sentenced to one year probation, six hours of anger management counseling and 80 hours of community service for his involvement in a fight that took place in an Atlanta Waffle House last October.

After a gig in Atlanta, Rock and his entourage headed to the waffle house where they got into an altercation with Harlen Akins, 39. The altercation led to a fight in the parking lot with Akins allegedly breaking one of the restaurant’s windows and Kid Rock driving off on his tour bus before cops stopped and charged Rock and five others on misdemeanor battery charges.

Rock pleaded no contest to one count of simple battery with four other counts of battery being dropped. Band mates Jason E. Krause and James W. Murphy also pleaded no contest and received similar sentences. The charges were dropped against the other three men.

Rock’s attorney, Darryl Cohen, told the Atlanta-Journal Constitution that Rock was “not terribly unhappy” with the sentence. "I think my client is satisfied. He would have liked to have tried it. He came within a hairbreadth of going to trial."

Kid Rock was also fined $1000. That could have bought a lot of waffles.
