"Ozzy Osbourne...Made Me Do It!" Ohio Man Blames Singer for Traffic Arrest
CLEVELAND (CBS/AP) Sure, blame all your troubles on the Prince of Darkness.
An Ohio drunk-driving suspect is blaming his arrest on heavy metal legend Ozzy Osbourne.
William Liston was arrested Christmas eve in suburban Cleveland. Fox station WJW-TV says he told police officers, "Ozzy Osbourne and his music made me do it."
Liston is awaiting arraignment. He's due in court Tuesday on a charge of operating a vehicle while impaired.
In an unrelated case, Liston pleaded not guilty Thursday in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court in a November break-in at a medical office. He was released on bond in that case.
Osbourne's hits as lead singer of the heavy metal band Black Sabbath and
as a solo artist include "Paranoid" and "Road to Nowhere."
Any resemblance between Osbourne and the allegedly drunk-driving Liston is purely coincidental.
