John O Officially A Bad Boy

John O: Officially A Bad Boy

At the OP Presents Tour tonight in Fort Lauderdale, Florida John O of The Maine was arrested. There are a few diffrent stories about what happened, but the one thing that seams to stay the same is that while John was signing autographs and taking pictures he was asked to leave by the police and when he didn't things turned bad.

Earlier in the night Seirra from VersaEmerge tweeted:

Apprently John didn't hear that. One eye witness story told by a fan recalled this:

"I was standing right next to him. There was a ridiculous amount of girls everywhere.They were going insane, John was trying to organize everyone into place so they could all get there pictures, or stuff signed. He took a bunch of peoples cameras so he could take the pictures,and a cop came over and started yelling at him to leave because they were blocking the stupid sidewalk and street,or whatever. John asked the cop to hold on so he could give all the cameras back. The cop got pissed,and started yelling at him,and he was respectfully saying to him just to wait a couple minutes to give shit back,and he pushed John onto me. I caught him in my own fucking arms after a cop SHOVED him. Then,I helped him up and the cop grabbed him (Meanwhile,with all of these girls cameras in his hands) and threw him across the street and onto a tree face first in front of Pat pulling his arms behind his back while every camera flew. I was screaming at the cop,while others were as well. After I saw the cop pulling him away,i couldnt even look and i walked away. We started walking around,and my friends mom was there. So, i cursed out the cops. Not such a great idea,but i dont fucking care. No one is going to fuck with John when he did absolutely nothing.I got in the car,and the cop came and told me to get out.He lectured me about me “being young & not knowing right from wrong” and then I had an attitude and thought i was so “all that” FUCK THAT. I was defending one of the most important people in my life. Then,he said “I could arrest you right here and you can spend a happy jail cell with your band boyfriend that you want so bad”. WHAT THE HELL. Who gives him the fucking right to say that? NO ONE. Just because you have a badge on your chest doesnt make you better then anyone else."

There has been no word yet to if he has been release or not, but he will be happy to know he has friends on the outside.

But eventually, he was released. ha i agree it was really funny cause all the girls were like "JOHN OH!" and at the end they were screaming "mom" if you listen really hard haahhaha buttttt i feel bad for him and no offence but the officer was being a doucher!
	heythereimbecca: 11/07/2009 1:03 PM hilarious. if hes gonna get arrested for something i guess blocking a sidewalk is better than killing someone.
	xxsupermansxdeadxx: 11/08/2009 6:16 PM okay that was kind of stupid. He was clearly laughing when the cop was "shoving" him. All of the preteens that were calling his name were doing nothing to help "one of the most important people in their life". His bandmates should have been there to maybe defuse the situation before it got to the point where he was apparently shoved face first into the tree (which you can clearly see he was not). So really, all of the people there were at fault for what happened. Also I'm not siding with the cop, because he wasn't in the right either, he should have calmly talked to John about it. But come on! If this guy was so important to these girls, they should have done more to back him up instead of just yelling his name like that would suddenly make everything ok. This whole thing just reaks of fail.
