Simon
Cowell's Arresting Secret 3/31/06
American Idol judge Simon Cowell was once arrested for threatening a
bus driver with a toy gun.
The British music mogul, 46, thought it would be funny to hold the
plastic pistol up to an English public transport worker when he boarded
the vehicle and was shocked when the driver didn't understand his sense of
humor.
Cowell says, "I said, 'Take me to Watford,' and I put a gun to his
head. I thought he knew it was a joke, but he took me seriously."
After the driver took him for the 16 kilometer (10 mile) ride, Cowell
was stunned to find police waiting for him at his destination.
