Currington indicted for "terrorist threats"

Wednesday, April 24, 2013 – Billy Currington was indicted Wednesday by a grand jury in Georgia for "terroristic threats" and elder abuse, according to the Savannah Morning News.

The indictment resulted from an April 15 incident involving Charles Harvey Ferrelle of Effingham County.

Currington has enjoyed hits with Must Be Doin' Somethin' Right and Good Directions. He was born in Savannah.

The newspaper said "two-count indictment returned by the Chatham County grand jury charged Currington, 39, with making terroristic threats against Charles Harvey Ferrelle on April 15 'with the purpose of terrorizing" him'." The indictment also said he threatened to cause unlawful bodily harm.

An arrest warrant was issued for Currington by Chatham County Superior Court Judge Penny Freesemann, according to the paper.

In the incident, Ferrelle told police he was giving a boat tour to two paying passengers on April 15 when he was allegedly yelled at by Currington. Ferrelle also said Currington make verbal threats that he was going to "f--- up" Ferrell. Ferrelle reported further alleged threats by Currington. The boat captain told police he had no idea why Currington yelled at him.

Apparently, there is some history between Ferrelle and Currington. On April 17, Currington tweeted, "Harassing artists often at their home by boat should be illegal."

CD reviews for Billy Currington

CD review - Summer Forever Billy Currington is a prototypical bro country specimen with his boyish good looks, infectious charm and smooth voice. That said, he has avoided being thrust into the negative stereotypes of that group largely because his songs avoid the harder edges of the sub-genre. His lyrics generally avoid excessive partying and objectifying women. His catalog of catchy numbers and sweet ballads lends an Adult Contemporary feel to the material. His sixth studio album is a breezy 12-song collection ...
CD review - We Are Tonight Billy Currington's We Are Tonight sometimes plays out like a college frat boy soundtrack album. The song Wingman, for instance, describes how two guys pair up to score chicks, while Hey Girl is all about an objectified hot girl that doesn't even have a name - names, integrity, character and such, are simply unimportant when it's a game featuring the hunter and the hunted. (This particular hunter doesn't even need a wingman). The album's best song is called Banana Pancakes. ...
CD review - Enjoy Yourself Billy Currington treats this album's title like a manifesto. The title track, with its part-Mexican, part-tropical groove, prescribes drinking, dancing, swimming and generally having a good time. All Day Long, on the other hand, takes a page out of the Zac Brown Band book for a slightly jam band-like lovers rock tune. While Kenny Chesney can come off a little smug when singing similar sentiments, Currington is far more likeable. His easygoing style is best showcased on Bad Day of Fishin'. ...
