Girl in a Coma arrested in Houston

Contributed by holy_hack_ben. Posted by aubin on Wednesday, March 25, 2009 at 4:30 PM (EDT)

Blackheart Records Group indie/punk outfit Girl in a Coma found themselves arrested in Houston after an altercation with police. According to a report, Jennifer Alva, 28, and Nina Diaz, 21 were arrested at Chances nightclub around closing time on charges that one slapped a police officer and the other threw a beer bottle at another officer, then punched him in the face.

Earlier this year, the group finished work on their second album, produced by Greg Collins (Gwen Stefani) and Gabe Gonzalez (member of Sleepercar) with a few tracks produced by Joan Jett and Kenny Laguna. The album is also headed for a release this year.

women who fuck with cops are totally bangable

easy Hef

Preston (March 25, 2009)

So are girls in comas.

Seth_Uber_Alles (March 25, 2009)

Heyo!

baldsteve (March 25, 2009)

it's serious

TheMike (March 25, 2009)

Do you really think she'll pull through?

baldsteve (March 25, 2009)

TheMike (March 25, 2009)

Damn

kevgren (March 25, 2009)

I bolted for the comments hoping no one thought of this joke before me, and there you were. Bastard.

I saw the Moz the other night...good show, but only 4 Smiths songs and only one song from Your Arsenal.

baldsteve (March 25, 2009)

I haven't seen him since '94. Good show, but I've had my fill of dudes swooning and throwing roses, it will inevitably be the end of me seeing Gaslight as well.

KurtTGS (March 26, 2009)

Comment of the week.

FuckYouOiOiOi (March 25, 2009)

thats so badass, i wanna punch a pig in the face and throw a beer bottle at him.

also, the title of this article is misleading, i thought the cops arrested a girl who was actually in a coma...

baldsteve (March 25, 2009)

quit talking and do it then.

FuckYouOiOiOi (March 25, 2009)

after legal fees and jail time, its wouldn't be worth it. i do spit on cop cars whenever i get the chance though.

baldsteve (March 25, 2009)

perfectly ok. pooping on car hoods also would be acceptable.

Lance76 (March 25, 2009)

Back in high school my buddy did that. Wasn't a cop, just some guy from our school. We hid to watch his reaction and the fucker just hopped in his car and drove off. I'm sure he saw it eventually, but we missed the show. It was a white car too. I don't know how he missed it.

Same friend took a shit in another guy's washing machine too. It only takes two times to become "that guy that shits everywhere."

kevinskapunk (March 25, 2009)

This is funny....I had a friend in college who had a buddy at home who did something similar. Except they were wasted, had just eaten a shitload of Sheetz food, and his buddy shit on the white car because he really had to shit and my friend dared him to.

The next day at dinner my friend's buddy's Mom said "The grossest thing happened. Apparently someone pooped on my bosses car last night!" She works for the local Judge.

Dante3000 (rich) (March 25, 2009)

I missed you.

ffwoodycooks (March 25, 2009)

one time, a cop aksed me how i was doing. i didnt answer. is that badass?
also, i think he left me off the hook because he was my dad.

lostandclowned (March 25, 2009)

Jimmy McNulty > You. And he's done some questionable shit.

LinoleumMagazine (March 25, 2009)

Punching a cop is a really smart thing to do.

Cox_Attack (March 25, 2009)

Yeah they will most likely get jail time if convicted.

xIxKilledxJesusx (March 25, 2009)

if i were them id claim that i was inappropriately touched

LinoleumMagazine (March 25, 2009)

*Not saying he didn't deserve it.

Also those chicks are punk as fuck!

Petrus_T (March 25, 2009)

still shit no matter how you serve it.

alex lifeson from rush knocked out a cop. thats harder.

blackmetal666 (March 26, 2009)

No shit? I never heard that haha. I do love Rush though!!!

TheMike (March 25, 2009)

Sorry, but I see nothing threatening in a comatose chick.

Hmm, that joke somehow seemed funnier in my head.

Dante3000 (rich) (March 25, 2009)

More like "Girl in a Prison Film"
-Dante

Modern (March 25, 2009)

mmm Caged Heat on Skinemax circa 1993.

ffwoodycooks (March 25, 2009)

So, apparently Gwen Stefani is the alter-ego of mild-mannered producer Greg Collins.

Holy_Balls (March 25, 2009)

are they hot? if so, i'm mad i wasn't at that club since i live in houston. if not, then it's badass that an ugly chick beat up a cop.

thepopeofchili-town (March 25, 2009)

The singer looks like Amy Winehouse, before the crack, but punk. So.... kind of.

drugmoney (March 25, 2009)

i bet they loved being in harris county jail. you ever been? holy shit that place is fucking hardcore, straight up. they shoulda known better pulling that shit off in houston.

KillThePatriarch (March 25, 2009)

I thought this was about a girl in a coma getting arrested.

Salvation (March 25, 2009)

that would be a far more interesting story.

HeyBarmold (March 25, 2009)

Headline of the year.

miniblindbandit (March 25, 2009)

here's the club manager's take on it.

http://blogs.houstonpress.com/rocks/2009/03/girl_in_a_coma _update_chances.php

notice the lethal weapon quote

miniblindbandit (March 25, 2009)

also more witness reports

Dante3000 (rich) (March 25, 2009)

Also like to add, you have the story of the bar manager vs. that of someone who seems to be friends with the band. Doesn't inspire a lot of objectivity.
-Dante

Dante3000 (rich) (March 25, 2009)

From the manager's end it sounds like they're some absolute bitches and should have been arrested.
-Dante

RRK (March 25, 2009)

The singer is ridiculously hot. The other two...

Dante3000 (rich) (March 25, 2009)

They should just count their fucking blessings that they just got arrested.

If it was Robocop he would have shot them fucking dead.
-Dante

miniblindbandit (March 25, 2009)

that's going to be my advice to my kids one day.

BMXpunk (March 25, 2009)

they were off-duty acting as security for the club... would they still have their guns?
Just asking since I don't know how they role in Houston.

Dante3000 (rich) (March 25, 2009)

Robocop always has his gun.
-Dante

DDRSkata (March 25, 2009)

The witnesses told a completely different story than the owner.

Coma Girl>Girl in a Coma

Sliced-T (March 25, 2009)

___>___ comments are right up there with ___ is stoked, for most over used and least creative stabs at humour on this site.

Slacker (March 25, 2009)

It wasn't a joke, it was science.

slimpunk (March 25, 2009)

It's like Family Guy. The fact that the jokes are overused is what makes them funny.

clamXtears (March 25, 2009)

This band makes the news hilarious, no matter what they do. Here are some headlines from their past:

Ed Gein touring with Girl in Coma
Girl in Coma plans split with Sex Positions
Girl in Coma to raise money for coma research foundation
Rolling Stone interviews Girl in Coma

I'm lame.

Would have been hotter if the cop was a chick too

Holy_Hack_Ben (March 25, 2009)

I suggested for the title to be "Girl in a Coma become Girl in a Prison". I thought that was witty and insightful.

drugmoney (March 25, 2009)

i bet they regreted that shit REAL quick! down here in houston you see, the cops kill people for fun. rest assure, if they didnt get there ass kicked by the lawdogs on the street, when they made it to the harris county facility the jailors put those black punching gloves on and bet the living shit outta this fucks. sorry but hitting a cop is just fucking stupid, that kind of stupity deserves an ass kicking. girl or dude it doesnt matter

BMXpunk (March 25, 2009)

"sorry but hitting a cop is just fucking stupid, that kind of stupity deserves an ass kicking. girl or dude it doesnt matter"

why the fuck do people keep saying that shit?? FUCK COPS!

drugmoney (March 25, 2009)

yea i can tell you've never really faced a cop. pigs are pigs and they've been the same way for decades, it's time we learn from mistakes and realize that maybe,just maybe hitting a cop isnt the best of ideas. plus dude on a personal note, ive faced some cops that are decent people just doing a fucking job that they already kknow sucks. some when treated with respect will let you go, but then again you're somewhat right"FUCK COPS", really its not cops that are the worst its the fucking lawmakers, so FUCK ALL POLITICANS, EVEN YOUR GODSEND OBAMA. FUCK THOSE ASSHOLES, NOT THE ONES DOING THE DIRTY WORK

clamXtears (March 25, 2009)

You know a lot of people who use the word 'stupity'?

drugmoney (March 25, 2009)

ha ok so i fucked up the spelling of a word, jesus christ i must be a fucking moron. god help me if i type on this web page like i really dont give a shit. this isnt a college paper, its a fucking thread on a webpage. i bet you know alot of people that are just as big of an ass as you are. fuck you, your little bitch comments are harmless to me and please correct me if i fucked up again. i really give a shit what you think..asshole

acris (March 26, 2009)

you didn't just fuck up the spelling of A word, it was pretty much multiple fucks

clamXtears (March 26, 2009)

Nobody called you a moron, my comment was for BMX guy and how he didn't pick up on the word. Anyway, welcome to the .Org, it's filled with assholes like me. We jab at each other and make fun of stuff and argue points. Ocasionally we talk about music. Some of us fly off the handle about a minor comment and rant and show their intelligence and call people names. But it's all in good fun.

Also, it appears that my harmless little bitch comment awoke the sleeping bear.

LookingForCorpses (March 26, 2009)

Grow up.

drugmoney (March 27, 2009)

geez i work 60hrs. a week doing welder work, got my own house, a sexy wife, and a wonderfull little daughter. yeah and im ony 24, whats your story? i dont need your opinion on it, but id say im pretty grown up already. cheers

STUPITY (March 28, 2009)

Jesus Christ! I work 60 hours per week as a Welder. I own my own house, I have a sexy wife and a wonderful little daughter...and I'm only 24. What's your story? I don't need your opinion on it, but I'd say that I'm pretty grown-up already. Yet, I feel it's necessary to defend myself when others make comments about my stature on public message boards. Cheers.

Look out, America.

Ummm, you clearly didn't realize I was responding to the comment about being supporting cops being stupid. It was the root post there.

fucking a right, man!

dX927 (March 25, 2009)

Have they been released? Otherwise Girl in a Coma will be in a coma while they're stuck in jail.

MikeCrucial (March 25, 2009)

If you read the article in the oiston press it says that they were working as security, but happened to be off duty police officers. That's fuckin bullshit these girls hit what they thought was security guards and are now being charged with assaluting an officer. that's seems real shady to have police as security i say set the owner on fire what a fuckin dick

LookingForCorpses (March 26, 2009)

That's not shady in the slightest. In fact, it's very common place. Off duty cops are often hired as security at music venues, sports arenas, etc, etc etc.
Part of the risk you take when you assault someone is, frankly, you don't know WHO you're fucking with. Could be gang members, bikers, an off duty cop, a Navy SEAL, an MMA fighter, etc. You attack someone, you deal with the consequences. Cops are cops 24/7, on duty or not.
Frankly, they're lucky they just got arrested and the security guards weren't average bouncers, who would have pounded the shit out of them, then had them arrested.

sfbarker (March 26, 2009)

Chances is a gay bar, so why be there with your boyfriend? Drunken lesbians throw down around that place all the time. The Montrose is a weird place since all the trendy folks moved in. More drunk, more violence, less art, less cool.

It is cute that the owner is a dude.

tainthuffer (March 26, 2009)

this is quite true. a lot of the art has moved over into 2nd and 3rd ward. but then again, ive only been here 5+ years, so, Montrose was probably cool way before I even got here.

FYI, if you werent aware, the Blue Meanie was a classic ECW character.
