BIG EASY BEAT DOWN
R&B star Tank was arrested and tasered during the early morning hours on President's Day.
The Milwaukee, Wisconsin-bred and Washington, DC-raised singer (born Durrell Babbs) was outside of the House of Blues in New Orleans, where the singer was attending a function in association with NBA All-Star Weekend, when he was allegedly attacked by the New Orleans police officers for defending a female companion.
The "Maybe I Deserve" crooner is saying he didn't deserve being manhandled and tasered by four local authorities, who he feels used excessive force before arresting him.
The 32-year-old vocalist was allegedly leaving the performance venue and on his way to an awaiting car service when he and his companion discovered that Decatur Street had been blocked off because of an alleged shooting.
The situation apparently then took a turn for the worst when Tank questioned the approach of the cantankerous cops, who were aggressively arguing with his female guest. It was then that the alleged attack on the singer took place.
