Police have charged William C. Lewis with aggravated assault and public intoxication after the 19-year-old allegedly hit the lead singer of the Toots & the Maytals with a glass bottle during a concert, the Richmond Times Dispatch reported Sunday.
Reggae singer Frederick "Toots" Hibbert was performing with his band at the Dominion Riverrock festival in Richmond, Va., on Saturday when the vodka bottle hit his head. According to WTVR, Hibbert received eight to 10 stitches on his head but had left the hospital.
