Coheed And Cambria bassist Michael Todd was arrested today, July 10th, for allegedly robbing an Attleboro, MA area Walgreens for six bottles of Oxycontin. Todd then apparently took a cab to the Comcast Center, where the band were scheduled to open for Soundgarden. Police are said to have tracked him down at the venue through the cab dispatch, where they then arrested him. He has since been charged with armed robbery and unlawful possession of prescription narcotics.
More on that can be found at Tmz.com, while the band themselves have released the following statement:
“Michael Todd was arrested today on what we consider very serious charges and therefore he will not be finishing up the current tour. Wes Styles, long time member of the Coheed family will take on bass duties starting tomorrow for the remaining dates. No shows will be canceled.
We are surprised to say the least and will address the situation with Michael after the tour. For now, we just want to have a great time out here and finish with some killer shows in Boston, Poughkeepsie, Quebec City and Halifax.”
