NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Country music producer Tony Brown has been arrested and charged with domestic assault after being accused of beating up a female family member.

The Tennessean reports that the 69-year-old was booked in to the Metro Nashville Jail on Tuesday on a charge of domestic bodily injury.

An arrest warrant says the woman told police that she was showing Brown pictures for ideas for an upcoming photo shoot, and he told her they were "slutty poses" and slapped her. The warrant says Brown then grabbed her by the face, pushed her to the floor and climbed on top of her and pulled her hair before dragging her down a hallway.

Online court records do not list an attorney for Brown. He is scheduled to go to court on Feb. 29.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — J. Cole, Tool and Stevie Nicks will headline this year's Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, which is set to return after a two-year hiatus because of the pandemic and weather. 

The lineup for the June 16-19 festival in Manchester, Tennessee, was released Tuesday and also includes The Chicks, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, 21 Savage, Machine Gun Kelly, Roddy Ricch, Flume and Illenium. 

Last year's festival was set to go on with extra COVID-19 precautions in place for fans, but heavy rains from Hurricane Ida left the grounds unsafe for driving or camping. The festival takes place on a former farm in rural Tennessee about an hour southeast of Nashville. Tickets go on sale Thursday. 

The 2020 festival was postponed to 2021 because of the pandemic.

Other artists on the lineup include Bleachers, Lord Huron, Disclosure, The War on Drugs, Billy Strings, Porter Robinson, Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats and Herbie Hancock.
