Singers Paul Simon, Edie Brickell Charged With Disorderly Conduct

Singers Paul Simon and his wife Edie Brickell were arrested over the weekend in Connecticut after police investigated a "family dispute," the New Canaan Police Department said.

Police said they responded at 8:20 p.m. on Saturday, gathered information and found probable cause to arrest Simon, 72, and Brickell, 47. Both were both charged with disorderly conduct, according to a news release from New Canaan Police.

Over the phone, New Canaan police told NBCConnecticut on Monday morning that Simon was arrested on "some sort of a domestic violence charge."

Just after 11 a.m., they issued a news release with the charges.

Simon and Brickell were married in 1992, have three children together and live in New Canaan

The answer is easy if you
Take it logically
I'd like to help you in your struggle

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edie_Brickell

Brickell married singer-songwriter Paul Simon on May 30, 1992.[12] Brickell was performing on NBC's Saturday Night Live on Saturday November 5, 1988 when she noticed Simon standing in front of the cameraman. "Even though I'd performed the song hundreds of times in clubs, he made me forget how the song went when I looked at him," she said with a smile. "We can show the kids the tape and say, 'Look, that's when we first laid eyes on each other.'" Brickell and Simon have three children.[13]
