Diamond Dave's Home Invasion
Apparently, David Lee Roth is hot for holdups.
The former Van Halen frontman might as well have jumped out of his skin, after a man on the run from police ended up scaling the fence to his Pasadena residence early Saturday morning and tried to take refuge in Roth's yard.
The rocker noticed the intruder hiding outside his home at about 2 a.m. Roth then grabbed his shotgun and kept the guy pinned down from his second floor balcony until officers arrived on the scene to arrest him.
"Dave cornered the guy with his shotgun," Roth's rep, Lathum Nelson, told the Associated Press on Wednesday. "When the cops got there, he put the gun away."
Running with the devil indeed.
Pasadena police department spokeswoman Janet Pope identified the intruder as 47-year-old Charles Cooley.
Apparently, police were responding to a disturbing-the-peace call, after several of Roth's neighbors spotted Cooley throwing rocks at the window of his own residence. When they failed to find him, officers received another call from Roth who reported an intruder on his property.
"Officers responded?when they heard two men speaking loudly to each other," Pope told E! Online. "Once the officers gained entry to the residence, officers went in and found Cooley laying on the front lawn of Mr. Roth's yard."
However, concerning Roth's vigilante stance, Pope said, "There's nothing in the police report of mention of any weapons either with the victims or the suspect in the case."
Cooley was subsequently taken into custody for possession of methamphetamines.
The unwanted houseguest is the latest bizarro tale to come out of Dave's world.
Last year, the court jester of rock and roll teamed up with his Van Halen replacement, Sammy Hagar, for a raucous coheadlining summer tour (unofficially dubbed "Sam & Dave" or "Sans Halen" tour). But after witnessing Roth's onstage antics, Hagar refused to dance the night away ever again with the entertainer.
Roth also taped a weird promo video titled David Lee Roth's No Holds Bar-B-Que, which featured him dressed up like a sailor and doing karate moves during a luau that featured pirates, dwarves and real martial artists. The video was supposedly Roth's bid to get TV execs to award him his own Osbourne-esque reality show.
Finally, in December, Roth sued his former Van Halen bandmates, accusing them of intentionally withholding royalty payments--putting to rest any notion that the two parties had reconciled and planned to launch that much rumored reunion tour.
