Kid Rock's tour bus was pulled over and scoured for drugs on Florida's Turnpike just hours after the rap-metal singer performed in suburban West Palm Beach.
He and his band weren't on the bus when it was stopped for a top-to-bottom search, including the "celebrity bedroom," according to a police report. Officers said they found a marijuana cigarette and a small amount of cocaine.
The St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office charged Kevin Joseph McMahon, 36, of Lebanon, Tenn., with drug possession. He identified himself as Kid Rock's personal assistant, according to an arrest report. He was released from the St. Lucie County Jail Sunday on $16,000 bond.
Kid Rock had kicked off the Aerosmith concert Saturday at the Coral Sky Amphitheatre. The bus was pulled over about midnight a few miles south of the St. Lucie-Indian River county line by a sheriff's detective and the Florida Highway Patrol.
According to a sheriff's report, authorities had been tipped by a motorist who said drugs were aboard. No one was available Sunday at the sheriff's office or the highway patrol to elaborate.
