At first glance, it looked like Aussie music's ultimate good guy Guy Sebastian was taking a walk on the wild side after news broke this morning that the singer was arrested in LA for grand theft auto!
But thankfully, it all turned out to be an awkward mix up after it was revealed it was his own car he was ‘stealing’!
The chart-topper, who is splitting his time between the States and Australia while he tries to break into the American market, had reported his wheels stolen to the LAPD a fortnight ago. But unbeknown to the Aussie Idol, the car had actually been towed!
The Herald Sun reported a snitch overheard the soul-singer telling Kerri-Anne Kennerley from the ‘Today’ show:
"The car apparently turned up at a random impound so he (Sebastian) went to pick it up himself," the backstage eavesdropper said.
"Not long after getting it back, 10 police jumped him, got him out of the car and arrested him at a carwash.
"Guns drawn, cuffs, everything!
"He was saying to them 'Look, this is my car and I have recently reported it stolen'. They still took him to the cop shop but he was released, of course, after he proved it was his car."
Stay out of trouble Guy!
