After allegedly urinating off the balcony onto concertgoers at a Grateful Dead tribute band show Friday night, Jersey City Councilman Steven Lipski (pictured) was arrested—not hailed as a hero—and charged with assault. Now he's come forward to announce that he's quitting drinking, although he still insists it wasn't a golden shower of unlimited devotion but simply an accidentally spilled beer. Employees at the D.C. club disagree and maintain they spotted Lipski in the act of micturition and called the cops.

The Dark Star Orchestra paid tribute to the Grateful Dead Friday night at Washington DC's 9:30 Club with a set of covers originally by the legendary band. Jersey City Councilman Steve Lipski then did his part to pay tribute to the band onstage by urinating off a balcony onto the crowd below during their set. He was arrested and charged with simple assault. A source from the club told the Daily News, "We've dealt with this man before. He's never peed on anybody, but he gets really belligerent and drunk." Lipski has been a councilman in Jersey City since 2001.
