Cleveland Radio: WMMS’ Rover Arrested For Shoving Cop

On Monday's Show, Rover addressed the events of the weekend:


Rover from Rover’s Morning Glory radio show on Clear Channel’s WMMS 100.7 FM was arrested at Whiskey Island in Cleveland early Friday morning.

According to  newsnet5.com, an off-duty Cleveland police officer asked Rover, whose real name is Shane French, and another man to stop shooting off illegal fireworks at about 3:40 a.m.

The officer stepped on the lighter the men were using for the fireworks and that’s when the 37-year-old French grabbed him by the shirt, according to a police report. The officer identified himself as a police officer while both French and his friend starting pushing him, police said.

The officer fell to the ground then showed the men his badge, while their friends agreed to take them home. According to police, French started to walk away, then turned around and pushed the cop in the back.

“I don’t believe you’re a police officer,” French reportedly said.

The officer told a nearby security guard to call police then told French he was under arrest. The police report said French got free and ran with the other man back to their boat.

French and the other man were arrested for disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, possession of fireworks and assault.
