Spector arrested after chauffeur fracas

Phil Spector and his chauffeur were both arrested after a scuffle at the producer's home, police said, following a dispute over their business relationship.

It's gotta be hard being Phil Spector's driver. His former chauffeur is now a crucial witness in the legendary producer's murder trial - a witness for the prosecution keen to prove Spector shot actress Lana Clarkson at his Beverley Hills home - and Spector was quick to publicly question that driver's credibility as a witness outside a prelim court hearing earlier this month.

Now another driver has had a run in with the producer. Both Spector and his chauffeur were arrested on Friday after a scuffle at the former's home. When police arrived at the mansion they found the two men tussling, seemingly trying to put each other under citizen's arrest. Local police told reporters: "They had an issue over their business relationship. We're not exactly sure what the issue was but they didn't seem to come to agreement. It was mutual combat, so they chose to arrest each other."
