MANALAPAN, FL, United States (UPI) -- Flamboyant New Age keyboardist Yanni has been arrested for alleged domestic battery in the wealthy coastal town of Manalapan, Fla.
Yanni -- whose real name is John Y. Christopher -- was held in the Palm Beach County lockup for 12 hours and released Friday afternoon with a warning to stay away from the alleged victim and check in daily with the court, the Palm Beach Post reports.
.....Yanni`s attorney told the newspaper there was no way his client would have hit Barthes because \'the last thing this man would want to do is hurt his hands.\'
