"I'm Hank Williams Jr., Bitch"
Country singer charged with assaulting Memphis hotel waitress

APRIL 4--Country singer Hank Williams Jr. today surrendered to cops on a warrant charging him with throttling a hotel waitress last month in Memphis. Williams, 56, is facing an assault rap for allegedly choking Holly Hornbeak during a March 18 confrontation in the Peabody Hotel lobby bar. According to a complaint affidavit, Hornbeak, 19, told cops that Williams (full name: Randall Hank Williams Jr.) verbally abused her and made other inappropriate comments during the bizarre incident. The tirade apparently began after a Williams crony asked Hornbeak if she knew who Williams was. When she said no, Hornbeak recalled, the singer replied, "I'm Hank Williams Jr., bitch." After Williams unsuccessfully tried to kiss her, the report states, he "grabbed her by the neck from behind, choking her." The performer turned himself in this morning to the Shelby County Sheriff's Office and was booked for assault to commit bodily harm. He was released without bond and is scheduled for a court appearance tomorrow afternoon. Williams, pictured below in a mug shot snapped today, is the son of legendary singer Hank Williams and is best known for singing the "Monday Night Football" theme "All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight."

5. I've wondered why he always wore sunglasses

You are dishonoring your daddy's name, Hank. Take your punishment like a man.

6. He is wearing sunglasses because of a 442 feet fall off a mountain in 1974

that cracked his skull open and literally tore his face off. He had to go through extensive plastic surgery and is lucky to have much of a face at all today, so ripping on him for how he looks is hardly the most sensitive thing to do. I wouldn't say he's dishonoring the Hank name either; he's not in the same league as his dad - who is? - but he's done some good stuff. I'd say this latest incident is just in keeping with the family tradition, with one important exception: if Hank Sr. had smacked a waitress around a bit in 1950, nobody would've cared one bit and there never would've been any charges pressed.

7. I don't have any

sympathy or sensitivity for a man that assaults a woman.
