Henry Lee Summer (real name Henry Lee “Hank” Swartz), the 1980s pop artist, was arrested in Indianapolis for methamphetamine possession, obstruction of justice and two counts of resisting law enforcement.
Summer, who scored two Top 20 hits with “I Wish I Had a Girl (Who Walked Like That)” and the cover song “Hey Baby,” in the late 1980s, threw drugs from his car during a traffic stop on Tuesday when officers tried to pull him over for not using a turn signal.
The officers had to use pepper spray to subdue the singer.
In 2006, Summer was arrested when he crashed the car he was driving into several other vehicles and a mobile home. He was charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated, resisting arrest, and failing to stop after the accident. He released a statement saying he had been under the influence of the prescription sleep aid Ambien, not alcohol at the time.
