Vince Neil Released From Jail Early

You’d think that with a criminal history of committing manslaughter while drink-driving, Motley Crue frontman Vince Neil would face a serious penalty for once again hitting the bottle and Las Vegas on June 27.

Some of our readers were outraged with the short jail-term of 15 days plus 15 days house arrest Neil received, but it seems even two weeks behind bars was too long.

Neil has been released after only 10 days and a $585 fine, to presumably finish his sentence at home.

The conditions of his release are unknown, but despite his criminal history, it doesn’t seem like the singer appreciate the severity of his offence, telling the Las Vegas Sun "They were a little harsh in the sentencing. But they wanted to make an example of me, and that’s what it is."

Will Neil really learn his lesson? He’s once been quoted as saying "I don't endorse drinking and driving, I endorse driving responsibly. I made a tragic mistake that cost one of my dear friends his life."

Let’s hope he acts on his own advice before planning his solo live dates and Motley Crue tour in the future.

Thanks to Billboard for the report.

He didn't learn his lesson at all. Nor did he even learn his lesson way back when he took Razzle's life. Furthermore, he probably won't learn until someone takes his life - but he won't even know it. Utter moron - he and the Motley gang won't ever get another cent or my money. Not that they have anything worthwhile to warrant my money to begin with. Boot!

[MegadethFan18]

Well he is famous and money will always overrule justice.

[metalgod96]

There's only one thing to really say. And that's WTF ?!

[nailsarecruel]

Oh poor you, Vince Neil.

[jw_4256]

Dude **** Vince Neil. He should still be in jail for killing Razzle

[Ace Carson]

MC play good music, pity their singer is a ****er =/

Whilst I have absolutely nothing for that ass we call vince neil, I do love motley crue. I agreed with you up until you bashed crue....

[Breakingpoint56]

This shit makes me so angry, I just headbutt myself in the forehead. Celebrities should receive harsher punishments just for sheer arrogance; like an ******* tax.

[heavenbesideyou]

dudea wat???

have i been under a rock?! :o

[i_am_metalhead]

Actually that's a more serious sentence than I've known people to have gotten. I know a guy who has had three DUIs and has never spent a minute in prison and he still has his license. I know other people who have gotten DUIs and the most they've ever gotten was a few hours of community service.

You can headbutt yourself in the head? Are you Chuck Norris? :p

(Sorry to everyone for the CN joke. I know it's so overdone, but I just had to do it.)

Anyway, I think this is ridiculous. His jail sentence was already ridiculously short, and then it gets even shorter. Someone in charge must be a big fan of MC.

[Beets!]

justice is served.


not.

[stndrdprcdre]

He's getting the "alcoholic's nose".

[JohnnyApplecore]

This is a joke. To say anymore would surely get me banned.

[iljh]

Would anyone be willing to say that "justice is lost. justice is raped. justice is done." ? ? ?

[Bruse_Tersen]

Was he just driving drunk? Then what's the big deal?
Besides the guy is a rock star and rock star is supposed to be an outlaw) You gotta be smart enough not to get caught though.

[Sanctuary]

I'll sleep better tonight knowing Vince Neil is free to get blind drunk and potentially kill someone in a motor vehicle.

[coopfan98]

hahahahah this is from the Chronological Crue website
: His girlfriend reports that after leaving Clark County Detention Center Friday, he stopped off at McDonald's for two quarter pounders with cheese and French fries. He is accompanied to his home by three officers who explain the rules of house arrest with an ankle monitor for fifteen days.

[The9]

What a ****in joke. Guarantee a normal person would be put away for a long time. Ridiculous

Yeeeah except hes driven drunk and killed people before. One expects to learn a lesson after that. And no.. no one is "supposed" to be anything like that.

This guy shouldve stayed the last FIVE pitiful days.

[JB2500]

it just goes to show that if you have money, the rules that apply to everyone no longer apply to you. Is it fair? No. Is it right? Of course not, but sadly it's the world we live in

[elvor0]

What a ****ing wuss, I imagine I'd handle badly in prison, but he's supposed to be this bad ass rock star, serve your damn 14 days. Most people would get a heck of a lot more, he got off light and whined, then got down to 2 weeks, now he gets off early? Fuck sake.

Think long and hard about what you said you stupid cretin! People die everday from people that drive drunk! You should have been locked with him to keep him all cosy!

[reignofrock]

Two weeks and he got out early... That's simply ridiculous... C'mon justice system! Don't get me wrong, I love the Crue, but two weeks considering his record is a ****ing joke.

So if you went to jail and got out early for good behavior would you refuse? id expect you to after that stupid comment.

The principle of the matter is he should not be getting out early. Period.

This is outrageous!

I wasnt saying he that you moron. I was complaining about the justice system letting him out early, alongside him saying it was harsh. He could at least have some humility about it, but he complained that he was in there too long, which is what annoyed me more.

How you got "he should be a good boy, turn down the offer and stay in there for the remainder of his sentence on his own decision" is beyond me.

[bentheshredder]

dumb a**
some rock star he is, more like a big baby

[HeretiK538]

I love Crue, but, good christ...

[lespaul4eveR]

WELL.. atleast i live no where near him... lets hope he actuly learned something, like people on the internetz hate him for being a reckless jackass.

Although it was made back in the 80's, it is still relevant today. The justice system hasn't gotten much better.

that persons life he took could have been exponentially more successful than this bum, noone will ever know.. and thats the bottom line. we wont know because their life was taken by selfish, wreckless action.

Crue is sick, he had a good voice, but he ****ed up. man up, pay the consequences and maybe get someone with a working brain to follow this idiot around with a leash, it goes without saying that he shouldnt ever sit behind the wheel of a car again. lets keep it that way.

[hexomega77]

This is exactly why the American judicial system is a joke

[hexomega77]

Oh and "They wanted to make an example of me" bullshit he didn't even finish his joke of a sentence for a repeat offender and he gets off with paying almost 6oo dollars and has to stay in his mansion for 3 weeks, that's quite the lesson he's going to be learning

honestly yes i would, because this incident DID NOT kill someone, and its called forgiveness. people do dumb shit when they are drunk bottom line. and like i have said in a previous article, it wasn't totally his fault that he killed the guy.

[adamantiumtiger]

Way to NOT learn your lesson! Crue's great but its just Nikki, Mick, and Tommy that are good. This joker can't even sing anymore and his solo stuff sucks, minus the cover of "AC/DC". Just get another high pitched singer, its not like you're missing any great songwriting talent. That comes from the guy with the teased black hair that actually does creative things in the off time and doesn't get messed up.

[hudsonstradlin]

Most of the time, the justice system tries to hide the preferential treatment they give to the rich and famous, but the case with Vince Neil shows no attempt at them trying to veil their bias. I'm sickened by how all of this has been handled, and for some reason I actually feel ashamed, which is weird, considering I'm not American or a massive Cruefan.

[carlosthegr8]

why didnt he get like a couple years or something like other, non famous people... man this pisses me off.

[a7x4life666]

Celebrities shouldn't have shorter sentences just because they're famous, they should have longer sentences to make an example. They should have extended that douchebag's statement for being such a whiny pussy who can't live with a three week punishment when the majority of the population would get a few years with a criminal record like his!

Being drunk is no excuse for anything, legally or otherwise. And "it's called forgiveness"? Really? Vince, arrogant prick that he is, obviously doesn't even think he's done anything wrong. But we're supposed to forgive him. Riiiiight.

Money can buy justice!

Not sure of the rules in the US but in the UK it's an instant 12 month driving ban for being caught whilst over the limit, more if you are way over. And if you are a persistent offender jail time is likely. I know of a guy who's been banned 5 times!
