Currington gets booked after warrant issued

Thursday, April 25, 2013 – Billy Currington was booked at Chatham County jail in Georgia on Thursday after a bench warrant was issued for his arrest for allegedly making terroristic threats and elder abuse.

The arrest follows incidents allegedly involving the singer and Charles Harvey Ferrelle, a 70-year-old Tybee Island resident and charter boat captain.

The arrest involves an April 15 incident in which Currington allegedly yelled at Ferrelle. He said he was later threatened by the singer.

Currington has defended himself on Twitter.

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.
