From the Associated Press:

MADISON, Wis. - Singer Howie Day was arrested for apparently locking a woman in a bathroom and breaking another woman's cell phone after one of the women allegedly refused his sexual advances.

Day, 23, who opened for the band Barenaked Ladies at a concert Wednesday, was charged Friday with misdemeanor counts of criminal damage to property and disorderly conduct in connection with the post-concert incident on his tour bus.

Day was released from jail after posting $850 bail Thursday. He is scheduled for a court appearance on April 1.

According to a criminal complaint, Day allegedly locked a woman in a bathroom on the tour bus after she refused his sexual advance. He then broke the cell phone of another woman trying to call police.

"That was probably wrong of me," Day told police of breaking the phone. "But I felt violated."

The singer-songwriter has received critical acclaim with his 2003 album "Stop All the World Now."


He felt violated?!? What kind of fucked-up, stupid-ass comment is that? Nevermind the woman locked in the bathroom because she won't put out for a dickhead like you.
