A pilot has been charged with reckless flying after being accused of landing a helicopter on a public street without permission, seemingly in order to pick up Tommy Lee and take him to a gig. David Martz, who will appear in court today to face the accusations, allegedly landed the helicopter outside a home in the Hollywood Hills on 7 Jul.
Martz, who was apparently flying the former Motley Crue drummer to a Nine Inch Nails concert fifty miles away, was charged with counts of reckless flying, landing an aircraft on a public road and landing an aircraft without a permit.
No statement has been forthcoming from the Lee camp. He would hold a press conference, but unfortunately his helicopter chauffeur is unavailable to take him to it just at the moment.
