Seven members of singer Bette Midler‘s touring company made it to her concert tour Sunday night after being released on bail following their arrests on charges of possessing cocaine and marijuana.
Police arrested the men, members of the singer’s band and technical crew, at their motel after officers observed the group through a window.
One of the arresting officers said the men closed the drapes on the motel room after spotting them.
