ROCKLAND (AP) — Singer Don McLean has affirmed that he is pleading not guilty to additional charges stemming from his domestic violence case in Maine.
The “American Pie” singer did not appear in court during a proceeding related to the case on Monday. McLean’s attorney has entered not-guilty pleas to six charges, including domestic violence assault. Police arrested McLean on Jan. 18.
The district attorney’s office added five charges against McLean last week. McLean says the new charges do not change his position that he is not guilty. He says the case is “a tragedy for our family and especially my wife.”
McLean’s wife filed a handwritten request for protection after the January arrest. The couple later announced through McKee that the protection order was dismissed.
