Rock band Tool’s drummer arrested for assault, anti-gay slur

(AP) — Police say the drummer of the rock band Tool has been arrested and charged with a municipal assault violation for allegedly using an anti-gay slur during a confrontation at Missouri’s Kansas City International Airport. 

Court documents show airport police arrested 60-year-old Malibu, California, resident Danny Carey on Sunday. 

Police say Carey used an anti-gay slur and repeatedly jabbed someone in the chest with two fingers. The municipal assault violation is punishable by 180 days in jail, a $250 to $1,000 fine, or both. 

A spokeswoman for the band Tool says neither Carey nor the band are commenting.
