Apparently, Jack White beat the living fuck out of Jason Stollsteimer from the Von Bondies. He pleaded guilty today to charges of Assault and Battery.

Jack entered the plea as part of a plea bargain. Instead of the possible year in jail, as part of the deal he was sentenced to pay a $500 fine, court costs and to attend an anger management course. He was also ordered to stay away from Stollsteimer.

They were both attending a concert at the Majestic Theater Center in Detroit on December 13th, when shortly before midnight they got into a fight.

Stollsteimer told police that White attacked him, punching him seven times in the face. White gave a statement saying he was acting in self defense.

If it was self-defense, what did Jack look like afterwards? $500 plus court fees is quite a loose punishment, no determent for furthur beatings.

Since when is $500 worth a year in jail. It should be $500, 000.

Don't kid yourself--we'd likely be just as bad with our celebrities.

The Bertussi (sp?) case may just illustrate this.

Fair enough
