Rikki Rockett, former Poison drummer, was served with an arrest warrant for alleged rape Monday night by LAPD’s finest at the LAX Airport.
The arrest warrant issued for Poison drummer Rikki Rockett stems from an incident that occurred on September 23, 2007 at a casino in Mississippi. According to cops Rockett was staying — not playing, music that is — at the Silver Star Hotel & Casino when he allegedly raped another female guest in his hotel room.
We’re told the woman did not report the alleged assault until several days later, when she came in to the Neshoba County Sheriffs department and filed a report. After determining there was probable cause for Rockett, real name Richard Ream, to be arrested, a warrant was issued. TMZ
Apparently Rockett was released from jail after Mississippi Law Enforcement chose not to extradite, and his whereabouts are currently unknown. Rockett and his representatives have yet to comment on the issue. I find it kind of odd that the Rockett would need to rape a girl. I’m not saying he didn’t, but I mean come on the guy was in freaking Poison and look at all that action Bret Michaels is getting on Rock of Love.

You know, it really has nothing to do with who he is or what kind of an icon he is … it has to do with his mind set about women an his right - not their right - over their bodies.
Being an Icon or celeb. could only intensify that promoting - “I am who I am - who are you to refuse me” - kind of thinking.
besides - nobody “needs” to rape even if they are the biggest nobody on earth. if they can’t get any they shoud just d.i.y.
It’s unfortunate all around. I have no knowledge about Rockett’s case so I can’t comment on it. I can say that I think an endless adolescence is perpetuated with successful musicians as they hit their middle age and still act as if they are 26. The fact is that the women that worshiped them in their early 20’s are not the same people as they reach their 40’s and expect better treatment. Some rock stars keep acting like a 20 year old in middle age and expect their fawning fans to do so too. It doesn’t work that way. Reactions are different and misunderstandings can abound. If there is one lesson from the sad Rikki Rockett mess it is that some of these rock musicians may want to give serious thought to their behavior and whether it works as one gets older.
