FONTANA CHARGED WITH ARSON
British pop star WAYNE FONTANA has been charged with arson after allegedly setting fire to a car with a man inside it.
The 61-year-old, real name GLYNN ELLIS, was arrested at his home in Glossop, England after it was claimed he poured petrol onto the bonnet of a car and set alight to it - while a bailiff sat in the vehicle. Ellis has been released on bail, but he faces a maximum of 14 years in prison if he is convicted of arson with intent to endanger life. Fontana, whose band THE MINDBENDERS scored a US number one in 1965 with GAME OF LOVE, pledged to leave Britain after the trial, saying, "I’m selling up and pushing off as soon as I’ve dealt with this. I’ve had enough."
