TMZ has obtained a video of TOOL drummer Danny Carey‘s arrest for an alleged assault Sunday night (December 12) at the Kansas City airport. In the clip, Carey can be heard berating the officers and telling the person filming him to “videotape all of this.” The musician, who can be seen wearing a Kansas City Chiefs jersey, keeps asking one of the officers, “Who did I assault?” and exclaiming, “I just want to get the fuck out of here.” At the end of the video, two officers can be seen pushing Carey against a glass wall outside the airport, with one officer ordering Carey not to get too close to them. The officers then slap cuffs around Carey‘s wrists, with one of them telling the drummer to “quit resisting now.”
According to TMZ, law enforcement sources say Carey allegedly assaulted an employee working security at the airport. A police report states that Carey allegedly shoved two fingers in the worker’s chest and repeatedly yelled, “You’re a fucking f****t!”
The 60-year-old musician was booked for misdemeanor assault and was released on bond. The police report is being forwarded to prosecutors for review, and potential charges will follow. He could be hit with a fine for the incident up to $13,900.
A spokesperson for the Kansas City Aviation Department told Rolling Stone: “Regarding the request for body and dash cam video, our police force does not have this technology. The police report has been forwarded to the prosecutor’s office for review.”
Carey‘s arrest comes one day after he performed the Jimi Hendrix song “Fire” at the University of Kansas vs. the University of Missouri men’s basketball game in Lawrence, Kansas.
