It seems not even age can tame Ronnie Wood’s rock ‘n’ roll ways. The 62-year-old Rolling Stones guitarist has been arrested on suspicion of battering his girlfriend Ekaterina Ivanova after allegedly “choking” the 20-year-old on the street near his home in southern England. Witnesses claim he grabbed her by the collar of her blouse and dragged her about 7m, injuring her knees.
He’s since been released on bail and his spokesman has admitted, “There was an incident last night and that Ronnie Wood was arrested.” He will face further enquiries in January next year.
Ronnie has been in the tabloids ever since he started a high-profile relationship with Russian cocktail waitress Ekaterina in July 2008, which led to his divorce from wife Jo Wood after 24 years of marriage. We hope he can through the Christmas period without any further incidents.
