Charges against Paul Simon and Edie Brickell dropped
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 19 June 2014
Disorderly conduct charges against musicians Paul Simon and Edie Brickell have been dropped, it was announced yesterday.
As previously reported, the married couple were arrested in April, after Simon called the police following a fight between them at their home. Both sustained injuries in the altercation, which Brickell said had started after Simon had done something to “break her heart”.
Prosecutors told a judge in Norwalk, Conneticut yesterday that they would not pursue the case, meaning that the charges have now been dropped.
