GYM CLASS HEROES DUDE ARRESTED: Travis McCoy hit with assault charges Tuesday after alleged racist comments set him off.
*Travis McCoy, the lead singer of the pop/rock band Gym Class Heroes, was arrested in St. Louis Tuesday on municipal assault charges following an altercation with a fan during their spot on the Warped Tour.
"Somebody in the crowd was taunting Travis with racial slurs," the band's manager Bob McLynn told People.com. "Travis invited him onstage with the intent of calling him out in front of the crowd, with absolutely no intention of a physical altercation. When he tried to help him onstage, the guy hit Travis in the knee area, forcing Travis to defend himself. At this point, a scuffle broke out."
After the beatdown, McCoy apologized to the crowd, saying. "I'm sorry you had to see that. But when someone calls you something that's ignorant and that offensive, you have to bash their head in with a microphone."
McCoy was released on $500 bail. View clip below.
