IRON MAIDEN drummer Nicko McBrain’s son has been arrested in Florida.

Boca News Now reports 20-year old Justin McBrain is being held on $25,000 bond in the Palm Beach County Jail for allegedly burglarizing an occupied dwelling and 2nd degree petty theft.

Justin was arrested by the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office early Friday morning.

A PBSO spokesperson tells Boca News Now that deputies responded to a West Boca home after receiving a call that McBrain forced his way inside.

The female homeowner reported that McBrain knocked repeatedly and then pushed his way in when the door was opened.

McBrain allegedly rifled through the woman’s purse, taking a half-eaten chocolate bunny, half of an orange — which he consumed in the home — a belly ring, cosmetics, and a freezer pack.

Friday’s incident marks the second arrest this year in the McBrain household.

Nicko’s wife, Rebecca, was arrested and charged with battery on February 24th after she allegedly tried to stab a man in her home with a decorative lance.


Police say the stabbing attempt failed, but Rebecca was successful in hitting the victim with logs that had been sitting in a firepit behind her home.

Rebecca pled not guilty; she is due in court on May 3.

Nicko and Iron Maiden will launch their 2013 Maiden England European tour in Bilbao, Spain on May 27.
