Former COHEED AND CAMBRIA Bassist Indicted

August 10, 2011

According to The Sun Chronicle, former COHEED AND CAMBRIA bassist Michael Todd has been indicted by a Bristol County grand jury for allegedly robbing narcotics from a local pharmacy hours before a concert in Mansfield, Massachusetts.

Todd, 30, faces charges of armed robbery and possession of narcotic painkillers related to the holdup a Walgreens in Attleboro, Massachusetts.

He faces arraignment Sept. 8 in Fall River Superior Court, Gregg Miliote, a spokesman for Bristol County District Attorney Sam Sutter, said Tuesday.

Todd was arrested for armed robbery on July 10 shortly before the band's performance at the Comcast Center as the support act for SOUNDGARDEN. Todd allegedly walked into the Walgreens and threatened to blow up the store with what was apparently a fake bomb unless he was given OxyContin. Todd made off with six bottles of the pain pill before police tracked the cab he escaped in. He was arrested outside Comcast Center and officially charged with armed robbery and unlawful possession of prescription narcotics.

Todd previously left COHEED AND CAMBRIA in 2006 in order to seek treatment for heroin addiction. After a stint in rehab, he returned to the group in 2007.

COHEED AND CAMBRIA released a statement last week announcing its decision to "continue its journey" without Todd.
