Sweetmiracle Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Link Trial date set for Rush guitarist after Ritz-Carlton altercation By JOHN HENDERSON, jfhenderson@naplesnews.com March 10, 2005 A trial date has been set for the lead guitarist of the internationally known rock group Rush, who is facing felony charges for an altercation with Collier County deputies at the Ritz-Carlton, Naples on New Year's Eve 2004. Alex Zivojinovich, who is accused of pushing a female deputy down a hotel stairwell and spitting his blood on a male officer, is scheduled to stand trial May 16 on assault charges. "I think it's (the case) going to trial," said his Naples defense attorney, Jerry Berry, as he was leaving the Collier County courthouse Wednesday morning. But trial could be avoided if the state and defense reach a plea agreement in the meantime. A judge Wednesday scheduled an April 27 hearing to get an update on the case. At these hearings, a judge can accept a plea bargain. Berry and the prosecutor wouldn't divulge whether plea discussions are under way. "I can't talk about that. I don't know what's going to happen," prosecutor Rich Montecalvo remarked as he left the courtroom. Berry and Montecalvo agreed to continue the case. "There are some other witnesses we've located. We're taking their depositions," Berry said of these pre-trial sworn statements. It has been more than a year since Alex Zivojinovich, known on stage as Alex Lifeson, was arrested for scuffling with Collier County sheriff's deputies at the Ritz-Carlton, Naples at a New Year's Eve bash ringing in 2004. He is facing two third-degree felony charges that could carry five-year prison sentences. Arrest reports and witness statements give this account: Justin Zivojinovich, Alex's son, got onto the Ritz house band's stage. A band led by William Noll was performing alternating music sets with a band next to it led by Freddy Cole, the 71-year-old younger brother of the late, legendary Nat King Cole. Noll, who was leading the house band, said in his sworn statement that the evening was going well until Justin and friends got onto the stage as his band was taking a break. He said that after leaving the ballroom for a short time, he returned to hear a "litany of screaming and shouting" in the microphone, and someone had overtaken his band's congas. Noll said that he saw three people on the stage, including Justin Zivojinovich, who was dressed in a white suit and was shouting into the microphone. "Another man was in the middle of the stage dancing suggestively, sort of a semi-strip dance. The third was playing the congas, and my heart sank when I saw this irrational takeover of the stage," Noll said. Justin Zivojinovich, Alex's son, became "verbally abusive" after he was asked to leave the stage, according to witness statements. Security called the Sheriff's Office. Alex Zivojinovich intervened as deputies were escorting his son off the property, and tried to push his son in an opposite direction. The situation then escalated. As a deputy was using a stun gun to subdue Justin Zivojinovich, Alex Zivojinovich charged up a stairwell to go to the aid of his son. A deputy acknowledged that he then punched Alex Zivojinovich in the face to stop him from assaulting another officer. Alex Zivojinovich is accused of pushing a female deputy down the stairwell onto a concrete floor, causing her head injuries that required medical treatment. Justin Zivojinovich, who is facing a third-degree felony assault charge, gave a much different account of the fracas in a telephone interview with the Naples Daily News the day after the incident. He said his father had his nose broken by deputies, and as he was spitting out the blood from the injuries, deputies assaulted him again. He also said his father didn't push the female deputy down the stairs as stated in arrest reports. Instead, Justin Zivojinovich said, the deputy tumbled down the stairs as she pushed him down the stairwell. He said he was just trying to have a joyous New Year's Eve when he got onto the stage. "I was singing Happy New Year's, that's all I was doing, singing to the whole crowd. That's all I said, 'Happy New Year,'" he said. "Everyone was enjoying themselves." Statements from witnesses in his case are complete, Justin's Naples defense lawyer, Michael McDonnell, said Wednesday. "We're ready for trial," he said. Other than that, he wouldn't comment about the case. A hearing on the status of Justin's case has been scheduled for April 6. McDonnell also represents Michelle Zivojinovich, Justin's wife, who is facing a misdemeanor charge of resisting arrest without violence. Alex Zivojinovich, who has a seasonal home in North Naples, is one of the founding members of Rush, a Canadian-based band that has won international acclaim with hits such as "Tom Sawyer."  More for y'all.... This needs to end...and soon.
