TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. — The brother of pop star Madonna needed nine stitches to his forehead after he resisted arrest in a public bathroom in northern Michigan, authorities say.
Police were called Sunday night when 56-year-old Anthony Ciccone allegedly refused to leave the bathroom at the Grand Traverse County Civic Center.
Police say a cop tried to arrest Ciccone on an outstanding warrant for trespass. Ciccone allegedly confronted the officer, who brought him to the ground. Ciccone’s face hit the floor and he required stitches.
Ciccone’s blood-alcohol level was 0.40 percent, police say. In Michigan, 0.08 percent is legally drunk.
