Late-1980s pop artist Henry Lee Summer has been arrested in Indianapolis on methamphetamine possession and other charges.

Summer was arrested Tuesday after police say he threw drugs from his car during a traffic stop. Officers who tried to pull him over for not using a turn signal say they needed pepper spray to subdue the singer, whose real name is Henry Lee Swartz.

The 53-year-old scored two Top 20 hits in the late 1980s with "I Wish I Had a Girl (Who Walked Like That)" and his cover of the song "Hey Baby."

He faces one count of meth possession, one count of obstruction of justice and two counts of resisting law enforcement. He was released Wednesday from the Marion County Jail pending a May 12 hearing.
