Title: Elvis impersonator attacked rival he thought was trying to seduce his wife
Post by: bijou on April 18, 2011, 04:54:56 PM
An Elvis impersonator  battered a rival tribute artist he wrongly believed was  trying to seduce his wife, a court heard yesterday.

Michael Cawthray, 43, left  Jeffery Burton with a broken nose following the scuffle at an Elvis convention.

He flew into a rage after he found his wife Sioned sharing a drink in Mr Burton’s hotel room and ‘assumed the worst’.

Cawthray admitted one charge of actual bodily harm against Mr Burton, the son of Elvis’s former guitarist James Burton, when he appeared at Warwick Crown Court yesterday.

Adjourning the case for sentencing, Judge Julia Macur told him he needed to ‘address his insecurities’.

She said: ‘You have no previous convictions but you are pleading guilty to a serious assault where the injuries were not insignificant.

‘I think the court will benefit from having a pre-sentence report and I want it to consider any community penalty.

‘We also need to address your insecurities relating to jealousy and your ill temper.’

Mr Burton, 48, whose father played with Elvis between 1969 and 1977, was one of 80 impersonators at the three-day European Elvis Championship at Birmingham’s NEC Arena in January, timed to coincide with what would have been the rock star’s 76th birthday.

I'll bet management was glad when the last Elvis had left the building.

I doubt that jail will be anything like "Paradise, Hawaiian Style".
