MOSS POINT, Miss. (3 Doors Down Fans Website) - The bass player for "3 Doors Down" has been charged with assault in Mississippi. Todd Harrell, 32, allegedly hit a newspaper carrier who'd accused him of stealing papers from a coin-operated machine in Mississippi. Todd Harrell was charged with simple assault following the Friday dispute at the Cheap-O-Deep-O in Moss Point, near the band's hometown of Escatawpa on Mississippi's Gulf coast. The man told police Harrell paid for one paper, but took three. He claims when he confronted him about it, the rocker hit him three times in the face and kicked him in the groin. However, Harrell's attorney, Paul Benton, said the rocker entered the store to get change and then legally bought the newspapers that Boulware said were stolen. A hearing is set for March 30th. 3 Doors Down, which hit it big with the single Kryptonite, is home after a tour to promote its second album, Away From The Sun.
