LAS VEGAS - No criminal charges will be filed in the well-publicized scuffle between Kid Rock and Tommy Lee at the MTV Video Music Awards, the Clark County district attorney said Tuesday.

“It’s worth noting that Tommy Lee requested no prosecution relating to the incident, and there were no injuries to either person,” said Dan Kulin, spokesman for District Attorney David Roger.

“The Clark County district attorney’s office will not pursue a battery charge against Robert James Ritchie, also known as Kid Rock, involving a confrontation with Tommy Lee on Sept. 9, 2007, at the Palms Hotel and Casino,” Roger said in a statement.

A spokeswoman for Lee declined comment. A representative for Kid Rock did not immediately respond to messages. Both musicians are ex-husbands of Pamela Anderson, who was a presenter at the show.

Kid Rock, 36, wasn’t taken into custody, but was cited by police for misdemeanor battery after he was accused of slapping and punching the 45-year-old Motley Crue drummer.

Witnesses said that although Kid Rock threw the only blows that landed, Lee appeared to have started the confrontation, which occurred in the audience.

Kid Rock faces a misdemeanor battery charge stemming from an Oct. 21 arrest in Atlanta. He and five members of his entourage were cited after a brawl with a male customer at a Waffle House restaurant.
