Dave Stops Intruder (Or Does He?)

May 5, 2003 - Last week it was reported that David Lee Roth apprehended an intruder at his home. You can read all the news articles about it from the links in the right column. Dave's press release is printed below:

David Lee Roth Apprehends Knife-Wielding Intruder at Gunpoint

This past weekend, David Lee Roth apprehended and detained a knife-wielding man who trespassed on the singer's Southern California estate.

At 3:00 am on Saturday Apr 26, Roth was awakened by the sounds of breaking branches to discover a man had scaled his manor's 10-feet-high wall. Roth grabbed his shotgun and went onto the grounds, where he encountered the man who was carrying a knife.

Roth cornered the man and held him until the Pasadena Police arrived to take him away in handcuffs. Says Roth: "Anyone found bearing arms here at night, will be found here in the morning."

Roth was at home preparing for a summer tour in support of his forthcoming new release, Diamond Dave, due July 8 on Magna Carta Records. Click for more info, including new tour dates.

The credibility of story now looks to be in doubt with police saying it didn't quite happen that way. Oh well, at least most of the articles managed to mention that he's got a new album coming out in July.
