Tommy Lee Gives Cops A Johnny Copter
A pilot ferrying Lee around the city was detained and later released when his helicopter flew beneath a Los Angeles Police airship that was assisting firemen Feb. 1.
“It obviously caused them great concern,” LAPD spokeswoman Karen Smith told the Los Angles Times, adding the pilot failed to heed instructions from the Van Nuys airport tower. The pilot was detained on suspicion of flying under the influence but was later released because of lack of evidence, Smith said.
Yawn. But wait! Here’s how E! Online saw it:
“Faster than you could say Dr. Feelgood, the high-flying duo was forced to land at the closest airport. Lee’s pilot pal, whose identity was not immediately revealed, was then hauled in to the LAPD’s Van Nuys station, given a breath test and released without charge, pending the results. (Per TMZ, the pilot claimed he had a drink after landing.)”
Well, that’s more exciting now, isn’t it?
