   NEW YORK (AP) — Steely Dan founder Donald Fagen was charged   
   Tuesday with assaulting his wife at their home, according to law   
   enforcement officials and court papers.   
      
   The 67-year-old lead singer is accused of shoving Libby Titus   
   into a marble window frame, knocking her to the ground, on   
   Monday at their Manhattan apartment. The assault caused the 68-   
   year-old Titus to "suffer bruising and swelling to her right   
   arm, as well as substantial pain," a criminal complaint says.   
      
   The two officials were not authorized to disclose the victim's   
   name and spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of   
   anonymity.   
      
   Fagen was charged with misdemeanor assault and harassment. His   
   publicist and his lawyer had no comment.   
      
   Fagen launched Steely Dan in 1972 with guitarist Walter Becker.   
   The group went on to sell more than 40 million albums, with such   
   hit singles as "Reelin' In the Years," ''Rikki Don't Lose that   
   Number" and "Deacon Blues." The band was inducted into the Rock   
   and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001.   
      
   Becker and Fagen performed an eight-night residency at New   
   York's Beacon Theatre in October with a newer iteration of the   
   band.   
      
   Titus is a producer, actor and songwriter and put out two albums   
   in the late 1970s with producers Phil Ramone, Paul Simon, Carly   
   Simon and Robbie Robertson.   
      
   "I don't feel good," Titus told the New York Post. "I'm very   
   tired, and I'm divorcing my husband."   
      
   Fagen was released without bail Tuesday after an arraignment. He   
   was ordered to stay away from Titus.   
      
   ———   
      
   This story has been corrected to show the surname is Fagen, not   
   Fagan, and to show the group's residency at the Beacon Theatre   
   was last October, not scheduled for next October.
