Kid Rock is returning to the Waffle House restaurant where he was arrested for battery last year – to sign autographs for charity.

The star and five members of his entourage were arrested and charged with misdemeanor battery after an October brawl in the Duluth, Georgia restaurant. A not guilty plea was entered on Kid Rock’s behalf in a DeKalb County State Court last week.

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution newspaper, the musician has now decided to make amends by greeting fans and signing autographs at a Waffle House fundraiser for local homeless shelter charity Nicholas House.

The event will take place at the restaurant on March 11th before Kid Rock performs at the nearby Gwinnett Arena. Waffle House spokesperson Pat Warner says, “For a while now, we’ve been working with Kid Rock’s management to try and turn a negative into a positive. “We’re hoping to raise some money for a worthwhile charity.”
