HINDER Singer Arrested For Drunk Driving
- Dec. 23, 2007
|
|
The Jonesboro Sun reports that the lead singer of the rock group HINDER was arrested in Jonesboro, Arkansas on suspicion of driving while intoxicated. Austin John Winkler, 26, of Hermosa Beach, Calif., was arrested by Patrolman Anthony Zaffarano at about 11:30 p.m. Friday after a traffic stop at the intersection of West Matthews Avenue and Crescent Cove. Winkler is scheduled to appear in Craighead County District Court on Jan. 2. The officer said in his report that he conducted a traffic stop after spotting a silver 2003 Suzuki SUV traveling south on Gee Street with no headlights on. "I could smell a strong odor of intoxicants coming from the vehicle," Zaffarano wrote in his report. "I advised Mr. Winkler for the reason of the stop. The female in the backseat advised the driver ( Winkler) to turn the knob to activate the lights instead of just the daytime running lights. Mr. Winkler advised the vehicle was not his. The female in the back seat advised the vehicle belonged to her." The HINDER frontman allegedly told police that he had two glasses of wine. Winkler later told police that he had four glasses of wine in a four-hour period, according to the report. Read more at the Jonesboro Sun.

...on their 'Extreme Behaviour" CD 'Shoulda' is a pretty good jam. I agree with all of those posters lambasting them for the ballads, but credit where it is due - 'Shoulda' is a rippin' tune.

this is just on here to get a couple laughs/to bash hinder and bash the reason why it was posted in the first place. first off anyone who enjoys any hinder song has gotta be drinking more than just wine. as everyone knows they are radio friendly garbage. and to make matters worse the singer is a drunk driver who could have taken the life of an innocent person. what a piece of dog shit. that makes him lower than the scum of the fuckin earth to disrespect life like that. fuck him.

Oh my,
I can't believe someone is sticking up for this asshole...
His "Lips of an asshole" song was enough to give him the chair, but since he's one of those drink driving morons (especially at christmas), he should be jailed for life.
Hinder, WORST band, with the WORST song of 2007 (and that's saying a lot, because there was a shitload of rubbish to choose from).

Every song they have ever put out is terrible. I don't want to hear about what song is a good jam. These assholes remind me of the band that Jack Black was in at the beginning of school of rock. Idiots will always gravitate to shit, but people with taste will always value what's truly amazing. Hinder, Nickelback, and all the rest of the other carbon copies are going down the shitter in '08.

Head's not in the right place? How would you know that exactly? I don't get that from the story. He took a chance and got caught. No mention of where his head is at.
The fact is that he got behind the wheel after drinking. He deserves everything he gets and in fact he deserves worse, despite how absolute shit his music is, some idiots, you presumably, look up to him. Some example, huh?

Pussy. Two glasses of fucking wine. And then they come out in mags like they are the hardest partying, hardest drugging and drinking motherfuckers since Van Halen. And they sound like a horrid Nickelback wannabe!!
Two glasses of wine? Pfttttttttt. Try my new land speed record of 7 double shots of Vodka last week.

I'M NOT SAYING THAT I AGREE WITH WHAT HE DID I'M JUST SAYING YES HE SHOULD BE PUNISHED FOR HIS CRIME JUST LIKE ANY OTHER PERSON, BUT TO PUT HIM DOWN THIS WAY (CONSIDERING OTHER ROCKS HAVE DONE THE SAME THING) IS FUCKED UP! HE SHOULD OF NEVER GOTTEN BEHIND THE WHEEL OF THE CAR TO DRIVE WHILE HE WAS DRUNK, BUT HEY EVERYONE MAKES MISTAKES AND THIS IS ONE THAT HE HAS MADE. NOW FOR HINDER'S MUSIC, I THINK ITS GREAT I LOVE THEIR MUSIC AND I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT CD TO DROP SO I CAN GET IT ALSO! HINDER ROCK!!!!
