The story from Yahoo.com:
[QUOTE]RALEIGH, N.C. - Uncle Kracker, a former disc jockey for Kid Rock, was arrested early Friday on a second-degree sex offense charge, authorities said.
Raleigh police spokesman Jim Sughrue said a 26-year-old woman alleged that a man had committed a sexual act against her at the Ess Lounge, a downtown nightclub.
Kracker, 33, was arrested at a hotel in suburban Cary. He was being held at the Wake County Jail on a $5 million bond, Sughrue said.
Sughrue said police had obtained a warrant charging Kracker with second-degree forcible sex offense.
Kracker, whose real name is Matthew Shafer, was to appear in court Friday afternoon, said Wake County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Phyllis Stevens.
A message left with his listed agency in Nashville, Tenn., wasn’t immediately returned, and a phone number for his listed management company in Harrison Township, Mich., was disconnected.
Kracker’s hits include “When the Sun Goes Down,” a duet with Kenny Chesney. The 33-year-old rock-country musician has also won acclaim for “Follow Me” and a cover version of Dobie Gray’s “Drift Away.”[/QUOTE]

Kracker to the pokie? You would think Kracker wouldn’t have to resort to this with all of the honies he had hanging off of him in the Kenny Chesney video. My bet is he was under the influence.
