Whoa. Now, this is a side of the crooner we certainly haven’t heard from before. There are new reports that say singer Rod Stewart and his son Sean have pleaded guilty to battery in an assault case stemming from New Year’s Eve in 2019. Apparently, the incident happened with a security guard at a Florida hotel. Here’s what you need to know.
According to reports, police at the time said Rod Stewart punched a security guard at the Breakers Hotel in Palm Beach on New Year’s Eve in 2019 after his son “got about ‘nose to nose’ distance” from the guard’s face and later shoved him.
Rod Stewart Pleads Guilty In Assault Case WIth His Son Sean
Sean, 41, allegedly shoved the security guard and Sir Rod, 76, struck his chest “with a closed fist”, the report said. The pair have entered guilty pleas to a misdemeanor count of “simple battery.” It means neither will go to court nor will they go to jail, pay a fine or go on probation, Sir Rod’s lawyer Guy Fronstin said.
Fronstin said: “No one was injured in the incident and a jury did not find Sir Rod Stewart guilty of the accusation. “Instead, Sir Rod Stewart decided to enter a plea to avoid the inconvenience and unnecessary burden on the court and the public that a high profile proceeding would cause.”
The pair were accused of assaulting security guard Jessie Dixon at the luxury Breakers Hotel in Palm Beach on December 31, 2019, after they were not allowed entry into a private New Year’s Eve party. A spokesperson for Palm Beach State Attorney Dave Aronberg, said Dixon agreed with the outcome of the case.
