Report: Cops Called After VINCE NEIL Goes Ballistic In Las Vegas

March 25, 2011

According to TMZ.com, a battery report was filed against MÖTLEY CRÜE singer Vince Neil last night in Las Vegas after an alleged altercation with his ex-girlfriend. Sources tell TMZ.com, the woman was at a Hal Sparks concert at the Las Vegas Hilton when Neil allegedly stormed in and started screaming obscenities at her and her two friends. She told police Neil got physical with her and one of her friends.

Police told the Las Vegas Sun said they are investigating the "disturbance" and will determine whether criminal charges will be filed against Neil, who wasn't arrested.

Police were called at 10:43 p.m. by hotel security. Neil had left the scene by the time officers arrived and police have launched an inquiry into the situation, police spokesman Bill Cassell said.

Neil's girlfriend Alicia Jacobs left him last week, less than a month after Neil was released from jail. Jacobs said in a statement, "Due to the decisions Vince continues to make, it is necessary that I end our relationship of seven months. I wish him happiness and good health."

Neil failed three field sobriety tests and had a blood-alcohol level almost three times the legal limit during his June 27, 2010 Las Vegas arrest.

Jacobs, a local TV reporter in Las Vegas, interviewed Neil when he left jail, with the singer saying that driving home drunk was "the wrong thing to do." "I made the mistake of getting behind the wheel after having some cocktails," he said. "It was so easy for me not to do it; I was at a hotel, I had access to limousines, I had access to rooms — I could have just stayed at the Hilton that night, but for some reason I decided to drive home, and that was the wrong thing to do. . . It's not gonna happen again."

Neil pled guilty in Las Vegas Justice Court in January and spent 10 days in jail, followed by another 15 days of house arrest. He also paid a $585 fine and attended DUI school and attended a victim impact panel online.

Neil was convicted of vehicular manslaughter and driving under the influence in 1984 after he caused a car crash that killed his passenger, HANOI ROCKS drummer Nicholas "Razzle" Dingley, and seriously injured two people in a second vehicle. He served 30 days in jail and was on probation for five years.
