deen castronovo arrested
According to the police, Deen Castronovo allegedly assaulted his girlfriend last weekend in a fight that escalated a little too high!
The current touring drummer for Journey was booked for the alleged assault as well as coercion, criminal mischief, getting in the way of making a report, and being a harasser. Ick!
And get this!! Sources say his girlfriend even ran out of the house to call her dad, but Deen caught her and yanked the phone right out of her hand!! Boo!!!
Of course, he didn't stay at the jail house for too long. He posted his $50k bail and got the hell outta there!!
He’s accused of coercion, fourth-degree assault, second-degree criminal mischief, interfering with making a report and harassment following an incident on Saturday night.
Cops were called to the Keizer, Oregon, home of Castronovo, 46, after an argument with his partner turned physical.
She ran out of their house to call her father, but the drummer is alleged to have followed her out, taken her phone from her and refused to let her make the call.
After spending a night in jail Castronovo posted bail and returned home.
A spokesman for the musician tells TMZ: “It was a misunderstanding that should not have been escalated to such a level in the frusta place.”
Castronovo joined Journey in 1998 and has played on five records including last year’s album Eclipse.
