CAMDEN,
Maine (AP) — “American Pie” singer Don McLean was arrested on a
misdemeanor domestic violence charge Monday in Maine, a jail supervisor
said.
McLean was arrested and posted $10,000 bail early Monday at the Knox County Jail, Cpl. Brad Woll said.
The
singer-songwriter lives in the town of Camden. A message left for the
police chief there by The Associated Press was not immediately returned.
Woll
said he did not know if McLean, 70, had a lawyer. Messages seeking
comment were left through the singer’s website and two representatives. A
phone number listed under his name rang unanswered.
In
2013, McLean was fined $400 for driving his Chrysler too fast through a
Maine school zone. McLean’s attorney argued the school zone warning
lights requiring a 15 mph limit were not flashing; police said they were
on.
The attorney who represented McLean during his traffic case did not immediately return a phone message.
