Brian Ferry's son charged with robbery

Otis Ferry, son of Roxy Music's Bryan Ferry, has been charged with robbery and common assault after allegedly seizing camera equipment from women filming the Heythrop Hunt.

Roxy Music frontman Bryan Ferry's son Otis has been charged with robbery and common assault after (allegedly) seizing camera equipment from two women who were attempting to film the Heythrop Hunt in Gloucestershire last November. The women were investigating possible breaches of the hunting ban, which outlaws hunting with dogs, of course.

This isn't the first time Ferry Jr has been in the news in relation to hunting matters, of course. Back in 2004, he and a number of friends broke into the House of Commons to protest the hunting ban. "I would be happy to die for my cause", he later told The Telegraph, though we note as yet he has not. Perhaps he meant "I would be happy to get arrested for my cause".

He will appear at Cheltenham Magistrates Court on 7 May.
