The Drummer from 80’s rock band Poison, Rikki Rockett was arrested while making his way through customs on Monday in Los Angeles. Rikki had flown from New Zealand to LAX following a reunion with old band members at a heavy metal show. The warrant for his arrest stems from an incident in Mississippi.
Rocket who’s real name is Richard Ream started out as a hairdresser and in a career switch became a rock star. Rikki was booked on a felony fugitive sexual assault warrant. The assault allegedly took place in September 2007. Mississippi authorities refuse to extradite Rockett from California so official released him pending official charges from the Neshoba County D.A. Looks like the singer may have skated away for now.
That is all the information out at this time. Bitten and Bound will keep you posted and we’ll also post his mug shot when that hits.
