Coheed And Cambria Bassist Arrested For Armed Robbery

Coheed and Cambria bassist, Michael Todd was arrested last night for armed robbery before the band opened for Soundgarden 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.

The band posted the following statement in regards to 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. 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."
