John Carter Cash, Johnny Cash's Son, Arrested For Drunkenness

John Carter Cash, 44, the son of late singer Johnny Cash, was arrested at Deer Lake airport in Newfoundland on Monday. Cash was on a hunting trip in the area and missed his return flight. Authorities allege that Cash had been very drunk and was taking his pants off at the terminal when the incident happened. Airport staff and security managed to talk Cash into dressing again before the Canadian Mounted Police arrived to arrest him. However, since Cash was cooperative, non-aggressive and has no other arrests on his record, his arrest was merely for disturbance, and no criminal charges are expected to be filed.
