Keith Richards May Be Charged in Scotland
Keith Richards may find himself in trouble with a local bylaw in Glasgow.
The Rolling Stones guitarist lit a cigarette on stage at a recent concert in Scotland. But smoking in an enclosed public place is illegal in Glasgow, the Sunday Times reports.
It adds that Glasgow city council is investigating the incident to see whether charges should be laid or not.
“This has been brought to our attention and we will be looking into it. Glasgow City Council takes it responsibility for enforcing the smoking ban very seriously,” Glasgow council said in a statement.
The bylaw has been in effect since March of this year, but Hampden Park, where the concert was held, has been non-smoking since three months before the bylaw came into effect.
