VH1s Forever Wild host, Sebastian Bach,
was arrested Wednesday in New Jersey and charged with making terrorist
threats and drug possession according to the Associated Press.
The former Skid Row vocalist was arrested
after getting into an altercation with a bartender at a Middletown, New
Jersey pub Wednesday night. According to witnesses, Bach, real name Sebastian
Bierk, became agitated when he wanted to go outside to have a cigarette
and the bartender wouldnt allow him to take his drink with him. Witnesses
told police that Bach then proceeded to shove the bartender and other patrons
pulled Bach to the back of the bar where he reportedly told those who were
holding him that he wanted to go home, get a gun and return to the bar
to shoot the bartender. He then reportedly asked the other bar patrons
who were holding him, Dont you know who I am?
MTV News reports that Police were called
out to the bar, and immediately arrested Bach for disorderly conduct. The
officers told Bach to calm down, but the agitated singer continued to make
threats towards the bartender and asked the officers to arrest him. When
officers searched Bach they discovered two five grams bags of marijuana
as well as several packs of rolling papers.
Bach continued his tirade one he arrived
at the Middletown police precinct, according to the MTV News report. Bach
reportedly yelled at the officers who were booking him, "Fuck you, cops,
you're all a bunch of fucking idiots." When asked if he knew why he had
been arrested, the police say that Bach responded, "Yeah, because I like
to smoke a lot of weed." antiMUSIC was unable to confirm at press
time whether Bach called the arresting officers Mother Truckers or not.
Once he was in a holding sell, Bach continued
to make threats against the bartender, He said, 'I'm going to go shoot
[the bartender], Middletown police Sgt. Joe Capriotti was quoted in the

'til you see what I do.' "
