Cops Called On Travis Barker, But It's Not Quite The Story You Read In The Tabs

You may have read some trash media reports on Tuesday that Blink-182's Travis Barker was threatened with arrest outside his ex-wife's home on Monday night. These reports of course were based on sensational "insider" testimonials from unnamed sources. But a quick read of a report from a real news outlet, who based their story on the police report, tells quite a different tale: Barker was just being a concerned dad to his kids.

The gist of the story was that Barker was dropping off his two kids with his ex-wife, (former Miss USA/ reality show star, Shanna Moakler), but he refused to leave the kids with her without a certified nanny present because the car of someone he says is a pedophile was parked at her house. Apparently this person is in fact barred by court order from being near the children, according to WPRI's report (see below). An argument ensued and she called the cops.

According to WPRI, who obtained the police report from the Barrington RI. Police department, "Moakler provided the officers with the couple's court order that explained the children's visitation schedule. That order did not require that a nanny be certified, but did state that a particular person was not allowed near the children. The person's name is redacted from the police report. The report says that a vehicle registered to that person was parked outside the building. The officers said that person wasn't there at the time, but his wife was."

That's quite a different story than the one reported by the tabs, but you can read more details based on the actual police report and not unnamed trash media sources - here.

Report: Barker warned by police

Police issued a warning to Travis Barker after he refused to leave his ex-wife's home in a dispute over their children, according to a new report.

Barker's on/off relationship with Shanna Moakler heated up once again on Monday as the Blink-182 rocker arrived at the former beauty queen's Rhode Island home to drop off his son Landon, 5, and daughter Alabama, 3.

According to Life and Style magazine, the argument escalated after Barker insisted his nanny should remain with the children and Moakler turned down her help.

A source tells the publication, "He started screaming and wouldn't leave the kids with her."

Moakler then called the cops after the drummer wouldn't depart the property, and authorities threatened to arrest him if he didn't comply.

The insider adds, "When Travis refused to go, Shanna called the police. They gave Travis a choice: Leave or get arrested. So he left. But he wasn't happy."

Barker then took to his page on Twitter.com to air his frustration, writing: "My babies (sic) mama is a pile of [bleep]."

Rhode Island Police Sergeant Tim Harrington confirmed on Monday that officers were dispatched to Moakler's address but could not confirm the nature of the visit.

The couple's relationship has been turbulent since their two-year marriage ended in 2006. They were back in court earlier this month to review their custody agreement for the summer, with Moakler allowing Barker to take the kids on the road as he tours with Blink-182.
