Boy George Arrested On Assault Charge

It looks as though some bad karma caught up with chameleon singer Boy George after he had a run-in with the law on the weekend.

The former Culture Club frontman was arrested and released on bail after a 28-year-old man accused him of “false imprisonment and common assault”.

A police spokeswoman for the 45-year-old singer said he had been bailed to appear in July pending further inquiries.

The alleged incident took place in the early hours of Saturday in east London.

Representatives for the artist, whose real name is George O’Dowd, were not immediately available for comment.

But his brother Kevin was quoted by a music magazine as saying that George was not annoyed and found the allegations “hilarious”.

Last year he was ordered to sweep the streets of Manhattan by a U.S. court after charges stemming from an incident when police responded to his call reporting a burglary and found cocaine in his apartment.
