This is the kind of story the British media loves, so I’m warning you now that it’s going to get messy.

Ian Brown, the ex-singer of the Stone Roses, was arrested yesterday morning at his home. At around 8am local time, neighbours called police when they thought they heard a disturbance at Brown’s West Kensington home. When they showed up, Brown’s wife, Fabiola Quiroz, allegedly claimed that he had attacked her.

Brown was arrested and released on bail with a promise to appear in court in December. Read the Telegraph’s account here.

This isn’t the first time Ian has been in trouble with the law. In 1998, he was arrested, convicted and jailed on an air rage charge on a British Airways flight from Paris to Manchester.
