John Rich can't seem to stay on the right side of the law lately. After his arrest last week following an alleged assault on aspiring singer Jared Ashley, the country star is under fire again for alleged rowdy behavior at a popular Nashville restaurant. Around 2:45 AM Tuesday morning, John reportedly walked into Cafe Coco and ordered a beer. The bartender informed him that he would have to finish his beverage by 3:00 AM, per state laws. John then asked to borrow a guitar, and began playing a few songs for the remaining patrons inside the bar, including a local TV news crew and a police sergeant. At 3:00 AM, while John was in the middle of a Roger Miller song, the bartender asked John to give up his beer, which he was unwilling to do.
"You don't interrupt me when I'm playing a Roger Miller song," John said defiantly, according to MusicCityTV.com. The server responded by saying, "I'll just take it then," which caused John to angrily grab the beer bottle from the server's hands and throw it over a fence, right in front of the police sergeant.
The officer advised John that he needed to leave immediately, which he did, without any criminal charges.

He needs to be arrested for littering or at least fined. He thinks he is above the law just because he is building that monstrasity called a house. Personally I think it looks like a coffeemaker. You may be part of the musik mafia john rich but you don't see the other members acting like 5 year-olds do ya? Grow up I know your still hurting after Lonestar kicked your a** the curb! BIG KENNY SHOULD DO THE SAME!!!

John Rich is riding Gretchen's coattails. He has little talent of his own, is known for being a MEAN drunk and jerk (see the video on YouTube?), and is a lying partisan hack megalomaniac to boot. And I'd like to be the one to boot him!

Once again, the prominent egotistical John Rich, showing the world what he's truly like on the inside. I guess if you believe that no one can touch you because of who you are, then stupidity has a name afterall.

I think he is so sexy and looks like he is in control of everything he could surely control me if he would like LOL. He could get by with anything anywhere in my opinion. He paid for that beer and really should have just downed it but we all make mistakes. Thresa Jones in Greenfield, Indiana

You set woman's rights back a 100 years with those immature, childish comments. I bet a cowgirl like you has been abused by many men, cause you don't know how to stand up and be an adult

HonestCowgirl didn't set anything back with her comments. That is her opinion and feeling, and if she likes the idea of John Rich controlling her, fair play to you. She didn't state ALL women need to be controlled.
To be a liberated woman should mean to open your mind and think for yourself, not have society or even other women, tell you how you have to think.
And she's right, he should have just downed the beer. What a waste of a good beer

Gosh. That sounds like something a prostitute would say of her pimp in the budding days of their "relationship." If sexy looking (in the eye of the beholder) and looking like he's in control is all you look for in a man, then maybe we'll see HonestCow on next season's COPS.

OMG people. She was just joking around. Do you need such drama in your lives that you need to give such serious responses? Get a life.

rsdarkjester, there is NO SUCH THING as a "good beer". Beer is bad for your body, it damages your liver. I know because my step-grandfather was a heavy Bud drinker and he died of liver disease as a result. Beer will NEVER enter my body.

I guess you haven't been watching or listening to what is happening in country music! Where is Lonestar? John Rich is everywhere - even sadly in the news and not in a good way. Hope its just a short phase he is going thru....come on John shine thru your talent not by being an asshole!

Quit wasting news space on this idiot. I'd sooner read about Lindsay, Paris or Brittney. Even Octomom and Kate+8,.......ok maybe not Octomom.
