Gym Class Heroes, Travis McCoy Scuffles and is Arrested

Absolute Punk reports that "at Gym Class Heroes' set during Vans Warped Tour on July 1st, a person in the crowd reportedly called Travis McCoy an "ignorant n*****," which then resulted in McCoy striking the crowd member in the head with his microphone."

UPDATE: Rolling Stone reports frontman, McCoy, was arrested onstage at the end of his set, and has been released on $500 bail.  (Sources Absolute Punk & Rolling Stone)

Buzznet member and photographer, Elizabeth Gaines (lizrotten) was at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in St Louis and has posted some photos of the smack-down on Buzznet and Absolute Punk and writes about what she saw "So, I happened to be one of three photographers actually standing there during the incident. Punches and mics started flying and I snapped some evidence..."

It's one thing to heckle but using such an offensive word as this is crossing a line. I really really hope Travie doesn't get in any serious trouble for this. If he goes to jail I will cry.

No, no, no, no. Just because someone says something devoid of all sense does NOT mean you get to do the same thing. Please DO NOT retaliate against people on this site, no matter what they say.

OHMYGOD STOP IT. NOW. There is no reason to even react to an obvious troll. She signed up today, made 3 comments. She is trying to incite you. She's been banned. Please DO NOT get suspended or banned yourself over this.

Travis gave the fan what he deserved and he shouldn't be punished for it, plain and simple. Anyone remember the time when a certain Pete Wentz jumped off the stage and hit a guy who was heckling him? All he ended up getting was bad press, nothing more. This should be the same.

People who mess with Travie are not very bright.
He's awesome and I don't know why you'd wanna do stupid stuff like that anyways.

I'm really tempted to ask Shannon to start picspamming already.

I've been anxiously awaiting Shannon and Alex's arrival.

Thanks for taking care of it, though.

I have a few things to say. One, what the fuck is wrong with that guy in the audience? If you're gunna be that much of a racist asshole why even be standing around while their doing their set? Two, Travis should get jail time because there was no need to respond violently. I hate it when people fight over some childish name-calling.
