Exotic Car News!

Vince Neil -- the lead singer for the rock band Motley Crue -- was arrested in Las Vegas on June 28.

What kind of car was Vince Neil driving when he got arrested?

A Lamborghini.

Was he pulled over driving the car in the photo?

That particular detail is not yet known.

The Hollywood Culture Examiner reports:

To hear that a legendary rock star and lifetime party guy got popped for driving his exotic car under the influence in and of itself is not very shocking.

The problem is, a week before his arrect, Neil had made a big deal press announcement claiming his sobriety.

What really happened?

Who knows, but here is the story as far as we know.

AP news says Neil, who last week had declared his sobriety, was arrested on drunken driving charges after getting pulled over by police in his Lamborghini near the Las Vegas Strip.

The 49-year-old rocker was taken into custody about 11:15 p.m. Sunday when he was stopped in the black sports car after leaving the Las Vegas Hilton hotel, Officer Bill Cassell said. Neil was released Monday after posting $2,000 bail.

Attorney David Chesnoff called it "premature" Monday to respond to the charge until he and attorney Richard Schonfeld collect information about the arrest.

Cassell, a Las Vegas police spokesman, said details of Neil's arrest would not be publicly released, and a police report would not be made available during the investigation.

Getting in trouble with the law is no new thing for the rocker.

Pop Eater reports:

It's not the first time the musician has been in trouble with the law. In 2002, he was arrested for allegedly assaulting a music producer. He later pleaded no contest to the charges.

A year later, in 2003, Neil again pleaded no contest to charges he attacked a prostitute at the Moonlight Bunny Ranch in Nevada.

In 2004, an arrest warrant for misdemeanor assault was issued for the singer after he reportedly hit a sound engineer at a show he was playing in Texas.
