ATLANTA - Musician Kid Rock has pleaded not guilty to a charge stemming from a fight last October at a metro-Atlanta restaurant.
Robert James Ritchie, better known as Kid Rock, was not present for the plea. His attorney, Darryl Cohen, waived an arraignment hearing and entered the plea on Ritchie's behalf in DeKalb County State Court, according to Cohen's office.
Ritchie and five members of his entourage were arrested Oct. 21 on a misdemeanor charge of simple battery following a fight at a Waffle House where they had stopped following his performance at The Tabernacle in Atlanta.
Officials said a fight broke out after another customer recognized a woman in Kid Rock's party and exchanged words with her, prompting Ritchie to exchange words, too.
