Kyle Drinkwine's Police Photo
In what surely must take the cake for supreme irony, a man named Kyle Drinkwine has been ordered not to consume alcohol as part of his probation for beating up a karaoke singer. Drinkwine, a 24 year old from Wisconsin, was also sentenced to 60 days in jail and 3 years of probation.
The short story, which is really just about another drunk doing his thing, is that Drinkwine criticized the karaoke singing of the patron of a bar, who was belting out “Holy Diver,” the title cut on Dio’s 1983 debut album (Dio is fronted by Ronnie James Dio, the former lead singer for Black Sabbath). Drinkwine then followed the singer to another bar and attacked him.
If you are really into the whole “America’s Most Wanted” thing, the Smoking Gun has the police report on Drinkwine here along with more information about his arrest last November.
