Amazing news is coming out at an amazing pace, and I’m amazed at how fast it changes, not just daily but hourly, and these days I’m not easily amazed.

The Cleverlys are a lot of fun. They’ve been around for a while mixing comedy with some killer bluegrass licks. That’s Irl Hees on bass. He’s no longer with the band.

Wednesday, Nov. 6 2019: During an argument, authorities allege Hees struck his girlfriend, identified as Heather DuBroc. The court information says DuBroc was holding their eight-month-old baby at the time and also accuses Hees of pushing his girlfriend’s head, causing it to strike the child.

The aggravated assault charge accuses Hees of grabbing DuBroc around the throat, causing her airway to be blocked and impeding her respiration and blood circulation. During an interview with police, Hees said the argument was over his communication with an ex-wife. He said at some point during the argument, DuBroc walked into the kitchen, picked a pistol up off the kitchen table, and pointed the weapon at him, according to the court documents. Hees told authorities he grabbed the gun and hit DuBroc on the side of the head. He then said he took the gun away from her.

Hees, in the court information, said he grabbed DuBroc by the neck at some point while he was trying to take away the gun. He also told authorities he may have hit her on the nose as well, and he also stated he had slapped DuBroc in the past. [Source]

She pulled the gun on him, so he beat the crap out of her, and he’s the one in jail. Amazing.
