HEMPSTEAD, NEW YORK Iron Maiden drummer Nicko McBrain will serve 90 days in the Nassau County Jail for second-degree assault and reckless endangerment charges stemming from an incident that occurred before a concert last July.
According to reports, the 51-year-old drummer was trying to pull into the VIP parking lot at the Jones Beach Theatre on July 26 when attendant Mark Robinson asked to see some identification.
After McBrain flashed his ID, Robinson asked to see the credentials again. At this point, McBrain is said to have threatened to drive into the attendant - a threat he allegedly carried out when Robinson failed to move.
Despite a second warning from McBrain, Robinson is said to have stood his ground before being struck again - this time with more force - before falling on to the bonnet of the drummer's black Jaguar.
The parking attendant suffered bruises on his right hand and legs and was taken to Nassau University Medical Center for examination.
McBrain plead no contest to the charges. He had faced up to a year in prison.
The sentence is scheduled to commence Wednesday, October 1. No news yet on how the jail term will effect the band's 'Dance of Death' tour set to commence October 19 in Europe.
Have fun Nicko...
