NATIONAL—Even pop culture stars aren’t immune to criminal activity, as this article shows.
However, the article also shows that even the most “pop” of pop culture stars can have a redeeming quality, such as a strong belief in Americans’ right to bear arms.
Case in point: Kid Rock, in Oakland County, Michigan, and a situation involving 43-year-old suspect, believed to fit the description of the man who allegedly tried to break in to singer Kid Rock’s property, July 31. The suspect has been arrested as of yesterday (Saturday, August 3).
There are security cameras on Kid Rock’s property, and on the cameras it shows a white male using his “white creeper van” to break through the gate on the property. Once the male broke through the gate he was then viewed on camera using crutches… and while on crutches, attempted to break in to a building on the property.
Kid Rock, aka Robert Ritchie, of Clarkston, Michigan, who is a proud supporter of the Second Amendment, has advised that he has no problem shooting anyone who puts his family in fear for their lives. He spoke out, stating:
Thank God I was not on the property at the time of this attempted break in. I am an avid hunter and marksman and I will not hesitate to shoot anyone who has myself or family in fear for our lives. I take the invasion of my personal space very seriously regardless of who you are and YES, I do profile people. I am currently profiling any balding white male on crutches driving a white creeper van. Please contact the Oakland County Sheriff Tip Line at 1.800.773.2587 with any information on this jackass. I am offering a $5k reward for any information leading to his arrest.
No information has been given by Oakland County sheriff department as of late, on the identity of the suspect.
