Poison drummer Rikki Rockett was arrested in Los Angeles LAX Airport on Monday on an outstanding warrant for rape in Neshoba County, Mississippi. It is thought that he has been released from police custody and no details are known about the rape charge.
46 year-old Rockett had just arrived in LA from New Zealand, where he had performed with other Poison members at the heavy metal show Rock2Wellington.
According to Wikipedia, he owns a drum manufacturing company, “Rockett Drum Works,” that he started in 2007. He is a vegan and animal rights activist and has a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
While I thought Poison had disbanded long ago, they’re still together and touring and released an album last year.
Maybe we’ll learn more about what Rikki was exactly charged with.
Details from DailyNews.com and TMZ.

Hmm, it’s a toughie. Do cheesy romantic crap- write her a song, or send her some roses- one rose for each month you’ve been going out. Send her chocolates, buy her jewelery, book an appointment for a spa for her or something. After you’ve done all that stuff, show up on her doorstep with a speech prepared. something sweet. girls love compliments. Be like ” I’m so sorry we split up. I feel like my hearts been torn into a million tiny pieces, and wont be whole again until you look into kind heart and maybe find space in it for an inconsiderate jerk like me, that loves you more than anyone has ever loved anyone in the history of the world”
