RACINE, Wis. — One inmate's loathing of country music could cost him more time behind bars, jail officials said.
Dustin Hampton, 33, is accused of starting a fight with another inmate at the Racine County Jail on Monday because the man refused to stop singing country songs, WISN reported.
Hampton has a lengthy criminal record in Wisconsin, Madison.com reported. He was charged Thursday with battery by a prisoner as a repeat offender, which is a felony charge.
Hampton allegedly approached the country crooner during breakfast and shoved him with both hands, causing him to fall and hit his head on a chair, Madison.com reported. The victim suffered a 2-inch laceration to the head, officials said.
