Morris was injured Thursday (8/29) night when a bomb exploded at his home. In a statement issued by Morris, he accuses his neighbor, a security guard and local police officer, of planting the homemade bomb that gave him a concussion and injured his eardrums. A police officer and a security guard were also injured when the bomb detonated. Police arrested the accused neighbor and took him into custody.
Because of the injuries that Morris suffered from the explosion, Unwritten Law has been forced to cancel several upcoming concert dates.
Morris has no doubt in his mind of who planted the bomb. He points to his neighbor who he has reportedly been feuding with over �noise levels�. (see the full story of the incident below)
"He planned this for a week and tried to kill me with a bomb," Morris told the Associated Press. "I can't believe someone would go to these lengths over a domestic dispute about noise levels. I'm sorry we have to cancel shows and disappoint our fans because of this vindictive individual."
Below is the full press release issued by Unwritten Law on their official website:
As a result of an ongoing domestic dispute
with his 23 yr old neighbor over noise levels (which is hard to believe
because Steve has hardly been home over the last 3 months), Steve, a police
officer and security guard, were injured when an explosive device built
by the neighbor exploded in close proximity. The devices, which were made
of dry ice, were built by the neighbor and thrown at Steve�s front door
and onto his balcony. The bomb thrown onto his balcony failed to detonate,
so Steve, thinking it was just ice in a bottle, put it into the freezer
as evidence to show the landlord. Then a second bomb detonated outside
his front door, damaging the front door and a light fixture. Upon
hearing this explosion, Steve called security and the police. When
they arrived, they asked to see the original device, and 30 seconds after
being removed from the freezer, it detonated in the hands of the security
guard, severely injuring the security guard. Steve and the police
officer were also injured due to the blast, and Steve is suffering from
a concussion and fluid in his ear drums. Medical advice received for this
has dictated that Steve must take a break from touring until he has recovered
to ensure that he is and will be ok. We anticipate
picking the tour back up on September 3rd in Chico.
