COHEED AND CAMBRIA Member Arrested For Attempted Armed Robbery
11 July 2011Coheed And Cambria bassist Michael Todd was arrested for armed robbery before his band opened for Soundgarden tonight in Mansfield, Massachusetts. According to TMZ, Todd "showed a pharmacist a cell phone note that said he had a bomb and demanded Oxycontin. He made off with six bottles of pain pills and fled via taxi."
Police later tracked the cab to the Comcast Center for the Performing Arts, the venue hosting the show. TMZ also reports that Todd was charged with armed robbery and unlawful possession of prescription narcotics, and will be arraigned tomorrow morning. This was the last of seven dates that Coheed And Cambria and Soundgarden were doing together.
Coheed And Cambria have issued a statement on their official Tumblr about the situation:
"Michael Todd was arrested today on what we consider very serious charges and therefore he will not be finishing up the current tour.В 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."
