Black Sabbath’s Geezer Butler has been arrested in Death Valley, CA after a bar fight.

According to TMZ, Butler was at the Corkscrew Saloon on the Furnace Creek Ranch when he got into an altercation with another bar patron. The Inyo County Sheriff’s Department, who was called to the scene, issued an official statement on the matter:

Shortly after midnight on Jan. 27, sheriff’s dispatch received a call regarding a verbal and physical altercation. After the Inyo county sheriff’s deputy arrived on scene and interviewed witnesses, it was determined that there had been an argument that escalated into a physical confrontation — resulting in an individual being struck, and a broken window.

Butler, 65, was taken to jail where he spent the night and was released after becoming sober. He is charged with misdemeanor assault, public intoxication and vandalism.
