Is it true that Jack Russell (Great White) has been to prison?

Somebody on YouTube said he went to prison before for manslaughter. Does anybody have any information on this? This has nothing to do with the fire in Rhode Island.

Correction. She said he murdered a woman. She said before he became famous on MTV. I really doubt this is true.

That Russell has been to prison DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE TRUE. He was in drug and alcohol therapy for two years not long after the fire that killed close to a hundred people, but that's hardly the same thing and, considering what it must be like to have to deal with such a responsibility, that's more or less understandable. I checked twenty- two different websites (from wikipedia to hair band sites to the official Great White website, to half a dozen just interested in Russel, to one that seemed to take the fire as a form of entertainment, and half a dozen newspaper articles written just after and shortlly after the fire). Since Great White was officially perfoming that night as "Jack Russell's Great White," it looked at one point like if anyone from the band was going to be charaged with anything, it might be Russell. Curiously, he turned down an offer of immunitity at one point. I'd say all those involved with the fire did the best they could to make amends to the relatives of those who died, including one of the band's guitarists.

Don't insist upon a negative prood, which is to say an article that says "Jack Russell has never been to prison, and he was never tried for manslaughter"; no one is going to write such an article because the news media isn't interested in things WHICH DID NOT HAPPEN.

Frankly, Russel has always been too much of a rock and roll workhorse to have had enough spare time to have ever spent any significant time in prison. I don't know where you picked up the rumor, but apparently that's all it is, an unfounded rumor.

no this is completely false

I heard a rumor a long time ago about him doing time for murder.
