Three police dogs and several Marion County, Indianapolis police officers were called in to disperse a crow of roughly 100 people and one person was arrested after a Run-DMC show was canceled. According to reports filed by the police, 22 year old Chris Seidensticker fought with employees at the 8 Seconds Saloon, located on the cities Westside. The argument began after Seidensticker demanded a refund after Run-DMC refused to perform due to a financial dispute with the promoter of the show. Run-DMC was supposed to take to the stage around 10:00pm, yet it was not announced that the group would not appear until almost 1:00am. When people began requesting their money refunded, staff members offered the number to Van "Buttaman" Cox, who has no affiliations with the club. Ticketmaster is offering refunds and the ticket price which ranged from $22-$25. According to Buttaman, 118 tickets were sold for the event. "I apologize to the city of Indianapolis and the people who took time out on a Wednesday night to come to the show," he said. Cox also stated that he paid the $4,000 in advance to the group, but fell short of the $1,500 show date payment and he blamed that on the groups request to upgrade flight and hotel accommodations. Run-DMC Spokespeople could not be contacted for comment.
