Ex-Cop Accused Of Urinating On METALLICA Fans Admits Guilt In Plea Deal

April 10, 2009

CapeCodOnline.com reports that former Brewster, Massachusetts police officer Joseph Houston (pictured below) pleaded guilty on Wednesday (April 8) in Boston Municipal Court to several charges associated with his actions at a METALLICA concert in January.

Houston was in court for two separate cases stemming from the Jan. 18 incident. He was scheduled for trial for trespassing because he re-entered TD Banknorth Garden after being thrown out of the concert by security personnel and MBTA Transit Police. He was also to be arraigned on assault and battery and a felony charge of open and gross lewdness.

According to a Brewster Police Department investigation, witnesses said Houston consumed a half-dozen beers at a bar before the concert. He then physically and verbally harassed a family that had traveled to Boston from out of state and were seated in the row in front of Houston and his brothers.
