Rikki Rockett, the high-haired drummer for ’80s glam metal group Poison, was arrested on a Mississippi rape warrant as he arrived at a Los Angeles airport on Monday following an overseas concert date, reports the LA Daily News. He was arrested on rape charges for an incident that occurred in September at the Silver Star Casino in Mississippi. Rikki is out of jail and awaiting a district attorney’s decision to see if the case will go before a grand jury. The AP reports:
“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.
Rikki was born Richard Allan Ream, on August 8, 1961. He has Sun in proud Leo, Moon and Venus in sensitive Cancer, with Mars in loyal Virgo. He has Saturn in Capricorn opposing his Moon and Venus. This aspect would mean he is emotionally insecure in relationships and has problems with women. In late 1993, Rockett was devastated when he discovered guitarist Richie Kotzen of Poison was having an affair with Rockett’s fiancee at the time, Deanna Eve. Kotzen was immediately kicked to the curb by the band. Dude, stay away from the “psycho” chicks.
I don’t see anything in his chart that shows he’s going to jail. I’m assuming that the charges will be dropped and the girl is looking to squeeze some cash out of the guy.
