AC/DC's Phil Rudd In Another Police Incident

12/04/2014
. (Classic Rock) Troubled AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd was at the centre of a new police incident in New Zealand on Thursday. He was handcuffed and taken into custody after reportedly breaching bail conditions in connection with the charges of threatening to kill and drug possession, which he'll answer at trial next year.

Eyewitnesses tell the New Zealand Herald he was involved in an altercation with a "huge man," thought to be his former bodyguard. He was said to have then taken part in a car chase before "bloody dancing around and carrying on" in a street. After police arrived he was "led to a cop car and driven away."

Rudd, 60, was not re-arrested but appeared before Judge Paul Geoghegan at Tauranga District Court, where the conditions of his bail were changed to reflect the incident. He's now required to avoid consuming illegal drugs, after Crown solicitor Greg Hollister-Jones described the drummer's behaviour as "erratic." Read more here.
