Marilyn Manson Reportedly Agrees to Turn Himself in Over Assault Charge
Marilyn Manson has reportedly reached an agreement with the Gilford, New Hampshire Police Department to turn himself in in connection to two arrest warrants regarding a case of simple assault over a spitting incident at a 2019 concert.
Word of the warrant for the industrial rocker's arrest came
in late May when it was reported that he was facing two counts of misdemeanor
simple assault for spitting on a contracted videographer at the Bank of New
Hampshire Pavilion during a concert performance.
In a statement, Gilford Police Chief Anthony Bean Burpee
told USA Today that the department's prosecutor was working with a Los Angeles
Police detective to secure a date for Manson (real name Brian Hugh Warner) to
turn himself in.
"We have been in a holding pattern. We are simply
looking for Mr. Warner to turn himself in on the active warrant so that we can
proceed," reads part of the statement. It was also said that if Manson
turns himself in over the "next few weeks," then it is likely his
appearance/arraignment will take place in "mid-August."
"What this all means for us is that ... it has forced
Mr. Warner to finally address his outstanding [New Hampshire] warrant, which
will, in turn, allow the victim of the crime to have her say/day in Court in
order to hopefully hold Mr. Warner accountable for his actions," Burpee
also said in a statement to the Boston Globe.
Manson, who has been accused of sexual assault and abuse by
several woman, actresses Evan Rachel Wood and Esmé Bianco among the most
prominent, is also currently facing multiple lawsuits in Los Angeles regarding
those allegations.
