According to NewsOK, former Revocation drummer Phil Dubois-Coyne, who also serves as a drum tech for Cannibal Corpse, has accepted a $30,000 settlement from the Oklahoma City Council, after filing a suit against the city and three police officers for false arrest and excessive force. The suit stemmed from an August 8, 2014 arrest that left him with a broken arm during a Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Fest after-party.
Dubois-Coyne was detained and charged with public drunkenness, disorderly conduct, and resisting a police officer. Before his arrest, he was apparently chanting “Fuck the police” and “Kill the police,” however his attorney has argued that the chanting was protected under the First Amendment and that part of it was just lyrics from Body Count’s “Cop Killer.”
Dubois-Coyne was treated at a local hospital and spent 12 hours in jail that night, and pleaded no contest to public drunkenness in Oklahoma City Municipal Court last November. He had to pay $178 for that, but the other charges were dismissed in 2015.
