SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- The fur flew when Ted Nugent ran into a group of animal rights protesters.
Nugent, in town for two concerts, was shopping Sunday in Neiman Marcus while activists gathered to protest the chain's sale of furs. Nugent got into an argument with a protester as he left.
"The guy made threats to Ted Nugent. That's why he was arrested," said police Officer Terrye Ivy.
Bhaskar Sinha, 21, a member of the Coalition to Abolish the Fur Trade, was booked for investigation of two counts of attempting to terrorize and one count of battery.
One protester, Leia Munster, blamed Nugent for the dispute. Munster said an activist tried to give Nugent a leaflet and Nugent spit on it.
