After a bizarre account from a 70-year-old man was related to law enforcement, Billy Currington was charged with making terroristic threats and abuse of an elderly person on Wednesday (April 24).
The story begins on April 15th when Charles Harvey Ferrelle asserts that he was giving two passengers a boat tour off of Georgia's Tybee Island when the country star began yelling at them from his property.

Country singer Billy Currington has been indicted on charges of making terroristic threats against an elderly man.
A Savannah judge issued a bench warrant for Currington's arrest after a Chatham County grand jury found "sufficient evidence" against him, reports CNN.
Though the prosecutor did not give any other details about the allegations, TMZ reports that the 39-year-old singer allegedly chased down 70-year-old tour boat captain Charles Ferrelle, and threatened to "f**k him up" and kill him, on April 15.
Police told local news station Wsav that Currington and Ferrelle had a verbal argument at a dock owned by the singer, and when Farrelle reportedly moved to a nearby dock, Currington boarded his own boat, followed him to a public dock and began to threaten the elderly man.
According to the police report, Farrelle told the cops:
"If I hadn't gotten into my slip fast enough, I believe [Currington] would have run me over.
