Coheed And Cambria bass player arrested for armed robbery
Bassist Michael Todd is charged with the offence this weekend.
Coheed And Cambria bass player Michael Todd has been arrested.
Gossip site TMZ reported that Todd had entered a branch of popular US pharmacy chain Walgreens before showing a cashier a mobile phone note that said "he had a bomb" and "demanded Oxycontin". Todd then took off with six bottles of the pain killers.
The band released a statement on the arrest last night, saying Todd "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."
The incident took place last night (10th July) before the prog-punk band supported Soundgarden in Mansfield, MA. It's unknown if Todd will continue as a full-time member of the band following the charge.
The tour continues tonight in Boston, before hitting Poughkeepsie, Quebec City and Halifax.
