Quinn Allman

Quinn Allman (born 1982) is the guitarist in the punk rock/emo band The Used. He is considered attractive by several of his fans.

On April 8, 2003, Quinn was arrested while signing autographs after a concert in Jacksonville, Florida, United States. He attempted to prevent police Lieutenant J.T. Crotty from arresting female fan Crystal Joanne Gordon on charges of loitering the nearby parking lot. Quinn claimed that the police officer accused Gordon and other fans of trespass. Crotty had reportedly already placed handcuffs on Gordon and a male fan when Quinn intervened and was arrested for "opposing an officer".

Quinn was held for twenty-two hours for "opposing an officer" and was released with a fine of 153 United States dollars. He stated afterward that the police had mistreated him. His report of the incident includes being strip searched , placed in shackles with fifty other prisoners, placed from one prison cell to another for hours and being constantly taunted by police officers and never allowed to make a telephone call. He claimed that the officers even listened to the music of The Used and dismissed it as hippie Rock and roll . Quinn reported that a male police officer claimed that if their music was anything like fellow band Dixie Chicks, Quinn would be worth to be let out. Quinn reported this treatment to be inhumane.

The incident forced The Used to cancel their concert in Athens, Georgia that was scheduled for April 9, 2003.[1]
