OneRepublic drummer Eddie Fisher pleaded not guilty this Wednesday following charges slapped against him by his girlfriend Lonnie Weygant on Tuesday.
E! News reported that the musician was charged with assault, destruction of private property, wrongs to a minor, and two counts of disturbing the peace. Fisher paid $550 in bonds.
According to The Denver Post, Fisher’s girlfriend filed charges after alleging the OneRepublic band member threw her down during an argument.
Lonnie Weygant didn’t discuss why they were arguing, but she did tell Denver’s Fox 31 News what happened when Eddie Fisher snapped.
“Things just got out of hand and he snapped,” Weygant said to Fox 31 News. Saying “My entire cabinets are ripped off from my walls,” Weygant “had my feet up against the wall trying not to let him in” when Eddie Fisher “busted through the door and he pushed me through the cabinets.”
TMZ reported that Lonnie Weygant also posted a request for the media to respect her on her Facebook. “I cannot ask the media enough to respect my situation and children in all this mess,” she posted.
Admitting “While this is all very exciting for the public eye,” she reminded the media that “It is truly hard to swallow for me and my kids. All I can ask,” Weygant requested, “Is that you give us the space needed to get past this difficult time.”
Eddie Fisher presented a different, simpler side of the story to Denver police. According to The Denver Post report, the OneRepublic drummer claimed that Lonnie Weygant struck him on his forehead and took away his dog.
