Homeless Man Arrested In Brawl Is Actually Madonna's Brother
Homeless man injured in arrest
BY MATT TROUTMAN mtroutman@record-eagle.com
TRAVERSE CITY — A highly intoxicated, homeless Traverse City man received nine stitches on his forehead after a struggle with police when he refused to leave a bathroom at the Grand Traverse County Civic Center.
Anthony Gerard Ciccone, 56, is the brother of famed pop musician Madonna. He is expected to be charged with felony resisting and obstructing a police officer.
Traverse City Police Capt. Brian Heffner said Ciccone resisted a female police officer late Sunday when she attempted to restrain and arrest him on an outstanding trespassing warrant.
"He pulled away, turned around and confronted the female officer in an aggressive manner," he said. "She turned him around and brought him to the ground, which is when he struck his face on the bathroom floor."
Ciccone was transported to Munson Medical Center where he received several stitches. Heffner said the hospital recorded Ciccone's blood-alcohol level at .40, or five times the level for intoxication in Michigan.
