Speck Mellencamp, 19, was sentenced to four days behind bars, while his brother Hud, 20, must serve 50 hours of community service for their role in a fight with a 19 year old in Bloomington, Indiana.
In July 2013, the Mellencamps, along with a friend, kicked, punched and stomped on a man, whose name has not been disclosed, following an incident at a party in Bloomington, Ind., earlier that day. Speck, in his affidavit, claimed that he had been breaking up a fight between two girls when he was struck by a man. The three men paid him back by beating him up on his front porch.
A month before the attack, Speck gave his father a black eye shortly before an appearance on The Late Show With David Letterman. As John told the host, “My son and I had words, and he got a punch in and I didn’t […] He’s 6’2″ and weighs almost 200 pounds.”
John was not present at the sentencing, but the boys’ mother and Mellencamp’s third ex-wife, model Elaine Irwin, was in attendance. The rocker is in the middle of a lengthy North American tour that will run through early August.
