BLUE - SINGER RYAN ARRESTED

Former BLUE singer LEE RYAN has been arrested after allegedly attacking a taxi driver on New Year's Eve (31Dec07). The 24-year-old was travelling to a party in Surrey, England, when he was involved in a collision. It is believed an altercation took place following the incident. A source tells British newspaper The Sun, "Lee was going to a party and there was a bit of a crash, nothing big, but he lost his temper. "A taxi driver got the brunt of it and then the law (police) turned up and nicked (arrested) Lee. He was stuck in a patrol car... it did not improve his mood and ruined his New Year's Eve. A spokesman for Surrey police says, "A 24-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of assault then bailed pending inquiries."
