Rod Stewart's trial for a battery charge canceled by judge as singer seeks plea agreement
Fox News
A Florida judge has canceled the trial for rock icon Rod Stewart and his adult son and scheduled a hearing next month to discuss a plea deal to resolve charges stemming from a New Year's Eve altercation with a hotel security guard nearly two years ago.
If convicted, the Stewarts were facing a year in jail, or probation and a $1,000 fine. The terms of the agreement are not clear yet, and attorney Guy Fronstin did not respond to an email and phone call seeking comment. The Stewarts’ battery charges have taken long to resolve because of the pandemic and settlement negotiations.
