Singer Don McLean, who scored big with the early 70's song American Pie, was arrested in Maine on a domestic violence count. The Monday (1/18) arrest and booking came in the early morning hours on Monday, with McLean transported to the Knox County Jail shortly after 3am.  Bail was posted within a couple of hours and the singer was released with a court appearance scheduled for Feb. 22.

McClean's 8 minute tribute to a number of the biggest early songs and artists in Rock was a chart topper for a month during 1972.
