KID ROCK CITED FOR MISDEMEANOR ASSAULT

LATEST: KID ROCK has been ordered by Las Vegas police to appear in court next month (Oct07) following his attack on rocker TOMMY LEE at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday (09Sep07).

KID ROCK

Rock, real name Robert James Ritchie, was ejected from the Nevada ceremony in front of thousands of fans after punching the Motley Crue drummer.

Although neither star was arrested at the time of the incident, both rockers were later questioned by local authorities with Ritchie receiving a citation for the assault.

A spokesman for the Las Vegas Police Department tells TMZ.com, "A little after 8.00pm last night we received a call that a disturbance had occurred at the MTV Video Music Awards. We had a lot of officers working in and around the awards so they got her fairly quickly. We determined that the altercation was between Kid Rock and Tommy Lee.

"After our investigation, Kid Rock did receive a citation for misdemeanour battery. Everyone involved was interviewed."

Ritchie will appear in court in the next three to five weeks, where he faces a maximum sentence of six months behind bars.

Both Lee and Ritchie have been married to former Baywatch beauty Pamela Anderson, but it is unclear whether she was the cause of the fight.
