Uncle Kracker Arrested on Sex Offense

Remember the singer, Uncle Kracker? It turns out that he’s really a creepy guy after all…

He’s been arrested for a sexual offense. Here’s an excerpt from the AP article:

Authorities said Kracker was arrested after a 26-year-old woman alleged that a man had committed a sexual act against her at the Ess Lounge, a downtown nightclub.

Police in suburban Cary detained Kracker, 33, at an Embassy Suites hotel until Raleigh officers arrived and took him to the Wake County Jail, said Raleigh police spokesman Jim Sughrue.

Authorities had obtained a warrant charging Kracker with a second-degree forcible sex offense, Sughrue said.

Kracker, whose real name is Matthew Shafer, was released early Friday afternoon after a district court judge reduced his bond from $5 million to $75,000.

And you thought it was bad enough for him to call himself “Uncle Kracker”…
