FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA: Alien Ant Farm lead singer Dryden Mitchell has been charged with battery after he grabbed a male fan’s hand into his crotch during a concert that took place on October 29, 2022. The 45-year-old fan, who stayed anonymous, filed a police complaint about the assault two weeks later. And on December 30, 2022, the Broward State Attorney's Office filed a first-degree misdemeanor charge, which is punishable by up to a year in jail.

The bizarre incident was captured in a video, shared by DailyMail, which shows the fan in the crowd raising his hand followed by Mitchell putting his hand on his crotch. The man quickly pulled his hand. As per the police report, "[The fan] said he had his fist in the air and was trying to get a picture with Mitchell.

He stated he immediately pulled his hand away at that point."
