| Bad news for Digital Underground as two people within their entourage were arrested the other night in Little Rock, Arkansas. Kyle James Eastern Jr., 21, and Michael Sheldon Pierson were accused of 'attacking and fondling' a 21 year old woman backstage after the group's concert at the Hall of Industry which is located at the Arkansas State Fairgrounds. The woman told police that she went backstage and was forced into a bathroom by the two band members who kissed and fondled her against her will. She later identified Pierson who is NOT one of the group's rappers or dancers and newcomer Kyle Eastern. Eastern was also found to be possessing a small amount of weed [marijuana]. The Little Rock police department noted that both men after being arrested, gave statements about the encounter and were later released on bail. They have been charged with first degree sexual abuse. So far there has been no official public statements issued by any of the group's more notable members like Shock G, Humpty Hump or Money B. We'll keep you posted as this drama unfolds. |
