I know, who cares really. I was just suprised they booked him under his stage name. I thought they usually used the persons real name. Is this a way for the cops to draw attention to this case? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------PHILADELPHIA, Miss. (AP) -- Poison drummer Rikki Rockett was arrested on a rape warrant and his case was turned over to the district attorney's office for possible grand jury consideration, officials said Friday.Rockett, 46, was arrested Monday at or near Los Angeles International Airport, Los Angeles police said. He was booked and released, and was awaiting an extradition decision by Mississippi prosecutors.A woman in Mississippi filed a complaint that she was raped on Sept. 23, 2007, at the Silver Star Casino, Neshoba County sheriff's investigator Ralph Sciple said."The subject, Rikki Rockett, forcibly had sex with an adult in one of the hotel rooms," according to a complaint.Sciple said the woman contacted authorities several days after the alleged attack. He did not discuss details of the case, but said his office believed the woman's complaint warranted review by the district attorney.The casino-hotel complex in Philadelphia, about an hour northeast of Jackson, is owned by the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians.Rockett, whose real name is Richard Ream, did not have a listed number in the Los Angeles area and could not be reached Friday for comment.Rockett was booked into the Los Angeles County jail under his stage name and released early Tuesday, according to jail inmate information on the county sheriff's Web site. Sciple said there was no immediate attempt to bring Rockett back to Mississippi and a decision on extradition would await action by the district attorney.Rockett and singer Bret Michaels founded Poison, the glam-metal band with a string of hits in the 1980s, including "Talk Dirty to Me."

I know, who cares really. Famous people get accused of this all the time and quite often it's false. Just some groupie mad they wern't "the one". I was just suprised they booked him under his stage name. I thought they usually used the persons real name. Is this a way for the cops to draw attention to this case?

Rockett, whose real name is Richard Ream

That's up there with Dick Thickins, Hung Judi or Bif Strokinoff.

It's bad either way.

Why you got to include this comment at all? Agreed, sometimes rape charges are false. Also, rape charges are often legitimate and get dismissed because they're by "some groupie mad they wern't 'the one'". We don't need to talk about this stuff...your real point is interesting and including this kind of comment will distract people (like me) from that.

If it makes you feel better..........Quite often the famous person is a scum bag who should burn in hell!

I'm well aware of the fact that men have been abusing women for a long time and getting away with it. It still happens to this day. The statistics on rape are mind boggling and make you want to puke at the state of humanity.

I'm not saying the woman's claim doesn't deserve an investigation. I'm just saying that a large number of women claim that a musician got them pregnant or that they were raped, when in reality it was a stupid musician and a stupid goupie having stupid sex.

I'm surprised that Mississippi actually has a city called Philadelphia and that people still listen to Poison

I'm surprised that... people still listen to Poison

I love quite a few 80s musicians, but there is nothing redeeming about Poison. That shit was some of the most contrived music of the decade.
