I had no idea that there was a bad ass amongst the Anheuser Busch family like Billy Busch. This guy has had quite a run over his life and the latest incident revolves around what cops say was the assault of a 6th grader during a basketball practice that Busch’s son was participating in.
There’s a he said-he said battle going on in the St. Louis media over exactly what went down in November, but the cops say it’s assault and Billy Busch will have to answer to the charge in court.
The Riverfront Times is all over this story:
The 58-year-old Busch bloodied the boy’s nose, dragged him by the front of his shirt and pinned him against a wall before the boy’s father pulled him off, according to police reports obtained by the Riverfront Times through a Sunshine request.
The incident began in November 2017 when the boy and Busch’s son scuffled in line during a basketball practice at Chaminade College Preparatory School in Creve Coeur.
Busch, who is listed at six feet tall and 195 pounds, raced over to intervene. The boy, whom we are not identifying, later told police Busch swore at him.
“You fucker!” Busch allegedly said. “What do you fucking think you’re fucking doing to my fucking kid?”
One thing led to another and the police report says that the boy was pushed against a wall and eventually had a bloody nose. A coach got involved and kicked Busch out of the gym.
I know, CRAZY!
Here’s where things get even crazier. Billy Busch has a wild past, according to the Riverfront Times.
His image in the commercials is that of a mild-mannered corporate bigwig, but he was once seen as one of the Busch family bad boys. Busch bit off another man’s earlobe in 1981 during a bar brawl that reportedly began when he was accused of cheating in an arm-wrestling match. He ultimately wasn’t charged because authorities said the other man started the fight, according to press reports at the time.
He was found not guilty of assault the next year when he allegedly reached through the drive-thru window at the old Naugles in Fenton to punch a worker in the throat. A judge found that prosecutors hadn’t proved the worker was injured.
Of course this has led to lawyers throwing Molotov cocktails at each other as this heads to a court. Look, all I know is that this Billy Busch bro has a wild past that most people will never have on their resume. I mean, that bar brawl from 1981 sounds insane. Sounds like a movie.
I know this, you wouldn’t catch me pushing Billy Busch’s buttons. I mean, I’ll sit down and have a beer with the guy, but I definitely don’t want any trouble. Just want to suck down some beers in peace and maybe talk sports.
