Billy Currington was indicted Wednesday (April 24) by a grand jury in Georgia for "terroristic threats" and elder abuse, according to the Savannah Morning News in Savannah, Ga. The indictment stems from an April 15 incident involving Charles Harvey Ferrelle of Effingham County.

Currington, 39, was born in Savannah and raised in Rincon, Ga., which is located in Effingham County. The elder abuse charge cites the singer for inflicting mental anguish upon Ferrelle, who is more than 65 years old. Currington's record label, Mercury Nashville, had not issued a comment late Wednesday afternoon. He scored No. 1 singles with "Must Be Doin' Somethin' Right" and "Good Directions." He's scheduled to perform Friday at a casino in Kinder, La.

WSAV-TV in Savannah identified Ferrelle as a charter boat captain who provides tours in the area, including Tybee Island, where Currington has a home. Quoting a Savannah-Chatham Metro Police document, the TV station reported that a verbal confrontation occurred between Currington and Farrell at dock owned by the singer. At some point, Currington is reported to have boarded his boat and followed Farrell to another nearby dock, where police became involved.

On April 17, Currington tweeted, "Harassing artists often at their home by boat should be illegal."

After news reports about the indictment surfaced Wednesday, Currington returned to Twitter and wrote, "Hey guys, I wanted to thank everyone for the huge amount of support that I have received already. Unfortunately, I can't comment on this situation as this is an ongoing legal matter. It means a lot to me to have your support during this time."

Currington has not been arrested in connection with the incident.

One of Justin's family members has come forward to let people know that he might not be too concerned about taking care of his own. George Bieber, Justin’s 61-year old grandfather, recently told The Sun that he is currently “living in squalor” and hasn’t even been able to fix a giant hole in his house from a tree that fell on it, while he spends his nights on a dirty, old mattress.

Grandpa claims that the 19-year old is too much of a bigshot now and, aside from some presents at Christmas, hasn’t sent them any money to help his grandparents get back on their feet or retire to a lifestyle of swagginess that fits their needs.

Justin’s reputation of late makes this sound about right.  He should just buy his grandparents a nursing home and hire someone to play his music for them. That’ll teach them to complain.

Next month, a series of original photographs of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, taken by world-famous photographer David LaChapelle, will be up for grabs at Christie’s auction house in London. Among those photos is the shot above, which features a then-25-year old topless Angelina Jolie frolicking with a horse. The image was excluded from a series that was published in a feature for Rolling Stone in 2001, which is unfortunate because a horse motorboating Angelina Jolie might have helped us heal as a nation back then.

According to the Daily Mail, the photo is expected to sell for upwards of $50,000. Also up for bidding is a photo of Angelina and Brad having dinner with a bunch of kids, but that will probably be purchased by a woman with a fake mustache and top hat who totally isn’t Jennifer Aniston.

What a weird horrible week. The Boston Marathon bombings, the fertilizer plant that blew up in Texas, and the ricin laced letters sent to the president and a senator from an insane Elvis impersonator. What? Yes. The FBI has arrested a paranoid yokel named Paul Kevin Curtis of Mississippi that allegedly mailed the poisonous packages only 24ish hours after they were intercepted. Was this because of the crack investigative skills of the FBI? Not really. This idiot put his initials in the letters and mailed them from his town. Oh, and he dresses up like Elvis, believes the government is run by the Illuminati, and that they are harvesting human organs to sell on the black market. Can I ask a general question with no real answer: What is going on in our country?

Europe is laughing at us right now. Europe! Can you live with that? I can’t.
