 Axl Rose Arrested In Sweden After Bar Brawl
06.27.2006 Singer charged with assaulting security guard.
Axl Except for that scuffle with Tommy Hilfiger in New York last month, things were going so well. But trips to jail aren't uncommon on Guns N' Roses tours, and Axl Rose started a rap sheet on the band's latest incarnation when he was arrested by Swedish  police early Tuesday.
According to a Swedish Police spokesperson, Rose got into an altercation with a hotel security guard early Tuesday morning at an afterparty following Guns N' Roses' sold-out gig at Stockholm's Globe Arena.
An officer told The Local news service that as of 11 a.m. Swedish time on Tuesday, Rose was in his cell, intoxicated, and had been charged with damaging property, assaulting a security guard and threatening police. One of the arresting officers told the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet that Rose was "aggressive and acting out" following his arrest and was handcuffed due to his outbursts.
Swedish media reports had the band partying at the renowned Café Opera early into the morning following their show at the Globe. Rose reportedly joined the crew after 2 a.m. and was surrounded by a bevy of leather-clad blond women, as per the band's request in the local media prior to the show. A spokesperson for the Café Opera would not comment to MTV News about the band's visit to the club or who attended the afterparty.
It was when the party shifted to the Berns Hotel, where the group was staying, that things reportedly got ugly. While a hotel spokesperson did not return calls for comment at press time, hotel manager Joakim Olauson confirmed for Aftonbladet that there was an "incident" involving Rose.
Witnesses told the paper that Rose got into a fight with a woman at the bar and when hotel security tried to intervene, the braided rock star began brawling with them and broke a mirror in the hotel's reception area. One of the security guards was also hit and allegedly bitten on the leg by Rose during the fight and was taken to the hospital for evaluation. The police spokesperson said that Rose's behavior during his arrest resulted in the charges of threatening a police officer. That crime is punishable by jail time, but the police spokesperson said it is not likely in this case.
A spokesperson for the band's Swedish promoter, EMA, said at press time that her understanding was Rose had not yet left jail, but that the situation would likely be resolved in time for the band to play a scheduled Wednesday night show at the Spiktrum in Oslo, Norway. "As far as I know, the concert tomorrow will be OK and will not be canceled," EMA's Catarina Oscarsson said.
