"It escalated to a physical altercation between Kid Rock and that male customer and moved outside to the parking lot," she said. At some point the customer punched out a restaurant window, she said.

Kid Rock left in his tour bus and was stopped by police about a mile from the restaurant, Parish said.

The musician and five members of his entourage were taken into custody on a misdemeanor charge of simple battery.

The other customer was charged with criminal damage to property, a felony, Parish said.

Kid Rock was released from the county jail on bond about 5 p.m.

A telephone message left with Kid Rock's publicist was not immediately returned. The other customer was treated at a hospital for cuts and bruises. No one in Kid Rock's group was hospitalized, police said.
