TMZ recently lit up with news that a battery report was filed against MÖTLEY CRÜE frontman Vince Neil in Las Vegas, NV on March 24th after an alleged altercation with his ex-girlfriend Alicia Jacobs at comedian Hal Sparks' show at the Hilton. Las Vegas Sun writer John Katsilometes, who was in attendance with Jacobs and Wayne Newton's publicist Tricia McCrone, recently published a play-by-play of the incident. An excerpt is available below:

At first, all seemed rather unordinary. Sparks’ opening act, Chris Bonno, had just finished his set, having battled a quartet of seemingly besotted guys from Oklahoma seated in the front row. But like Bonno, they were a mere warm-up.

Bonno introduced Sparks and, as if on cue, Neil ambled into the showroom and told us to eff off, thrice over.

There were several seconds of stunned silence, then the people seated around us started asking, “Do you know that guy?”

“Oh yeah,” I said. “I know him.”

Then, still dumbstruck, I turned to McCrone, my friend of more than a dozen years, and said, “We have arrived.”

Why would Vince Neil do this? Because he’s Vince Neil. And also because he’s upset at me for reporting his whereabouts and activities since he was released from house arrest on his latest DUI charge, partying it up at the Hilton (a hotel that seems to need a babysitter these days) and the Palms while his Lamborghini was parked in valet. On Thursday, the Lambo was nowhere in sight, but his red Ferrari was parked out front, with the vanity plate WYLDSDE tipping off its owner (one of the Metro officers, who happens to be a Motley Crue fan, understood the irony of that plate).

In the moments after Neil’s ill-advised cameo, Jacobs -- her eyes tearing up -- left the Shimmer and walked out into the casino floor to, maybe, reason with her ex. No chance. Neil shouted her down, saying he was upset with her and everyone at the table for the unflattering media coverage he’d received as his conduct was being witnessed by concerned hotel guests at places like, well, the Hilton.

In one particularly odd moment, McCrone and I were told by the Shimmer maitre’ d that L.V. Hilton executive (and a close friend of Neil’s) Ken Ciancimino wanted to speak with us outside the theater. I felt bad for Sparks, who was having a tough enough time playing to a room of about 50 highly distracted patrons without having to cope with all the theatrics unfolding in the showroom’s epicenter.

I also wondered how an ill-intended Neil was able to burst into the Shimmer Cabaret and perform his shout-at-the-devil routine, no problem, but one of the hotel’s highest-ranking officials required a maitre’d to summon us for an impromptu meeting.

At that point, we were determined to finish the show. It was a war of wills. But it wouldn’t happen, as minutes later a security officer told us that Metro Police wanted us out of the theater, immediately, to question us about the unscripted episode at Shimmer.

As previously reported, Neil was interviewed by Jacobs recently in regards to his recent ten days in jail on a DUI charge. On June 27th, 2010, Neil was arrested for DUI and speeding in Las Vegas. His blood alcohol level nearly three times the legal limit. He pled guilty back on January 16th.

During the interview (video available in two parts below), Vince talks about lessons learned and the difference from his arrest back in 1984, stating: "I was 23 years old. I just turned 50. So, really, it was half of my life ago. I was a kid and all of a sudden I had a lot of money, all of a sudden I had fame and you let it go to your head. This time I just made a mistake. It's not gonna happen again. Absolutely not."
