Kid Rock was arrested early Sunday after a brawl at a restaurant and spent about 12 hours in jail before being released, police said.
The musician stopped at the Waffle House restaurant shortly after 5 a.m. after his performance at The Tabernacle in Atlanta, authorities said.
''He and five members of his entourage were involved in a fight with a male customer inside the Waffle House,'' said Mekka Parish, a spokeswoman for the DeKalb County Police Department.
The customer recognized a female with Kid Rock's party and exchanged words with her, Parish said.
''It escalated to a physical altercation between Kid Rock and that male customer and moved outside to the parking lot,'' she said. At some point the customer punched out a restaurant window, she said.
Kid Rock left in his tour bus and was stopped by police about a mile from the restaurant, Parish said. The musician and five members of his entourage were taken into custody on a misdemeanor charge of simple battery.
The other customer was charged with criminal damage to property, a felony, Parish said. Kid Rock was released from the county jail on bond about 5 p.m.
A telephone message left with Kid Rock's publicist was not immediately returned.
The other customer was treated at a hospital for cuts and bruises. No one in Kid Rock's group was hospitalized, police said.
