Rascal Flatts News Update June 23rd

Posted: 06-23-2009

Here's something we didn't cover in our last news update. On June 13th, after the Rascal Flatts show in Dallas Jake Fleming, a UCLA tennis player, was assaulted. His group was attacked by a group of young men, Jake was sucker punched, fell to the ground and hit his head on the concrete. He is now in a medically induced coma but is expected to make a full recovery. There is speculation that the two groups may have had a confrontation during the concert.

On the run for over a week, the young punk wanted in connection to the attack turned himself in yesterday. Chancellor Hutcheson is being charged with agravated assault, a second degree felony.

SporingNews.com has an interesting take on the whole affair with a story titled, Violation of the Man Code Leaves UCLA Tennis Player in Critical Condition.

Here are a couple Tweets from @rascalflatts after the show.
