JAKARTA - TOOL drummer Danny Carey has been acquitted of charges of assaulting airport officials.

Carey was arrested in December 2021 for allegedly assaulting an employee working security at Kansas City International Airport.

According to the police report, Carey allegedly shouted a homophobic slur at the victim while pointing at his chest with two fingers. Additionally, footage of the incident obtained by TMZ shows Carey berating the officer.

He then asked the police, "Who did I just assault?" and said: "I just want to get out of here."

At the end of the video, two officers can be seen pushing Carey against the glass wall outside the airport, one of which then handcuffs him.

TMZ reported at the time that Carey faced charges of minor assault and was fined up to $13.900.

No reason was given for dropping the charges, with the court only saying the case was a closed secret matter.

Revolver magazine reports that he is due to appear in court on December 15, 2022, which has previously been postponed seven times.
