INDIANAPOLIS -- The attorney for late-1980s pop artist Henry Lee Summer asked during a pretrial conference Tuesday that his client be admitted to an inpatient alcohol and drug treatment facility in Tennessee.Police said Summer, whose real name is Henry Lee Swartz, threw methamphetamine out the window of his vehicle as he tried to evade an officer attempting to make a traffic stop in Indianapolis on May 6.Officers said they had to use pepper spray to subdue the 53-year-old singer.
As Summer, Swartz scored two Top 20 hits with "I Wish I Had a Girl (Who Walked Like That)" and a cover of "Hey Baby."The Brazil, Ind., native was charged with one count each of meth possession and obstruction of justice and two counts of resisting law enforcement.In 2007, Swartz pleaded guilty to driving while intoxicated in connection with a September 2006 incident in which he hit four parked cars.A pretrial hearing for Swartz on the latest charges was set for 9 a.m. on Sept. 8.
