Singer-Songwriter Don McLean Arrested On Domestic Violence Charge

Singer-songwriter Don McLean was arrested early Monday morning on a domestic violence assault charge, according to media reports.

McLean, whose song "American Pie" has become one of the most enduring anthems in rock-and-roll history, was taken to Knox County Jail shortly after his 2 a.m. arrest. He posted $10,000 bail and was released.

McLean, 70, lives in Camden. He is scheduled to appear in Knox County District Court in Rockland on Feb. 22, according to the Penobscot Bay Pilot.
