Not an April Fool's joke, there's a warrant out for Pat Boone's arrest!

Good.

If it was up to me he should have been busted during the 50's for ripping off all those black singers.

Pat Boone: Arrest Warrant Issued for Singer After Not Appearing in Court

An arrest warrant has been issued for singer Pat Boone after the celebrated 1950s and '60s icon failed to appear in court.

TMZ reported a Los Angeles judge issued the warrant after the 79-year-old Boone had been ordered to appear in court related to a condominium he had bought on a luxury cruise ship. The company that is building the ship lost a lawsuit that was brought on by some of the investors in the project.

The company lost the case and was ordered to pay $800,000 in attorneys’ fees. However, those fees haven’t been paid so the lawyers for the investors are suing people, including Boone, who bought a condo unit on the ship.

I looked elsewhere, found a couple sources saying the story is legit.

Boone simply never showed up for his court appearance.

"He's on vacation in Hawaii."

He and his family lived in Teaneck in the 60s and they were all assholes. No one liked them and they were rude and kind of nasty.
Every time I see him selling gold on TV by talking Teabagger bullshit and trying to scare old people I remember what a jerk he was.
