MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Kiss guitarist Vinnie Vincent was arrested in Tennessee over the weekend for allegedly assaulting his wife, TMZ reported Monday.

Vincent, whose real name is Vincent Cusano, was arrested Sunday in Murfreesboro, Tenn., about 34 miles (54 kilometers) southeast of Nashville, on aggravated assault charges, according to the website.

Sources at the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office told TMZ that Vincent’s wife Diane, 44, arrived there Sunday covered in blood and smelling of alcohol.

She told officers that she ran from the couple’s Murfreesboro home after Cusano smacked her in the face during an argument about another woman, then threw her to the floor by her hair and dragged her through a pile of broken glass.

When officers arrived at the home to arrest Cusano, they found four dead dogs inside sealed containers. His wife said the dogs had been killed by an aggressive dog the couple owns.

Cusano, 58, posted a bond of $10,000 and was released from custody Sunday morning. An animal service team is investigating the situation involving the dead dogs.

Cusano joined Kiss in 1982 when original guitarist Ace Frehley left the band. He was fired from Kiss in 1984 and formed a new band, the Vinnie Vincent Invasion, with future members of the early 1990s pop-metal band Slaughter.
