Courtney Love Charged With Felony Assault

JUNE 9--Courtney Love has been charged with felony assault for allegedly battering a fellow female rock singer with a liquor bottle and metal flashlight during an April attack at the same Los Angeles home where the troubled performer was arrested last October.

According to the below June 2 criminal complaint--which charges Love with assault with a deadly weapon--the performer attacked Kristin King, a 28-year-old singer/guitarist who fronts an L.A. rock trio. King, pictured at right, is a singer/guitarist who is a favorite of Eric Erlandson, the 39-year-old Love's former guitar man in the band Hole. A spokesperson for the L.A. district attorney said the April 25 confrontation occurred at the home of Jim Barber, Love's ex-boyfriend (that's where she was arrested last fall for breaking windows, the first of several busts involving drugs and smacking people).
