Ronnie Wood arrested for assault
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 4 December 2009
Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood has been arrested on suspicion of assault in what police have referred to as a “domestic incident”.
According to The Sun, Wood was arrested after he was seen pinning his girlfriend Ekaterina Ivanova to the pavement on the High Street in Claygate, Surrey. Celine Dixon, who lives nearby, told the paper: “We heard a woman screaming, then saw a man pinning her to the ground. He was shouting at her. Then we heard choking sounds, so my boyfriend rushed out to help. When he got outside he saw it was Ronnie and Ekaterina”.
Wood, of course, left his wife of 24 years, Jo, in 2008, following a high profile affair with 20 year old Ivanova. They officially divorced last month.
According to reports, Ivanova has said that she does not what to press charges, but as other witnesses have alleged that the attack appeared to be a serious assault, Wood may still have to stand trial. He is due to appear in court again next month.
