KEY WEST, Fla. (CBSMiami/AP) —Backstreet Boy Nick Carter says he was trying to enjoy his vacation before his arrest at a Key West bar.
Carter, who's 35, faces a misdemeanor battery charge after allegedly grabbing a bouncer by the throat Wednesday evening. He posted $1,500 bail Thursday.
The Key West Citizen reports that as he left the Monroe County Detention Center, Carter told reporters he was "just a guy trying to enjoy some vacation time" in Key West.
He added: "The truth will come out, let's put it that way."
According to a police report, Carter and a friend were intoxicated and aggressive when they were denied serviced and escorted from the bar.
