Vince Neil’s longtime girlfriend, Rain Hannah, was arrested this week for allegedly assaulting the Mötley Crüe frontman at their Williamson County, Tennessee home. According to an arrest affidavit obtained by TMZ, Hannah threw a glass plate that struck the 65-year-old singer in the neck during an argument. Police responding to a domestic disturbance call determined the 45-year-old Hannah was the primary aggressor, arresting her on misdemeanor domestic assault charges. Neil also suffered chest cuts and had clothing torn during the incident. Hannah claimed Neil punched her, but officers found no visible injury to support the allegation. She was released the following day after posting a $5,000 bond. Hannah, a makeup artist and YouTube personality, has dated Neil since 2011. Neil has not publicly commented. Story URL
