what in the absolute fug

 

 

Tim Lambesis, lead singer for the heavy metal band As I Lay Dying, was arrested in California on Tuesday on charges that he sought the help of an undercover detective to have his estranged wife killed, police said.

 

Lambesis was taken into custody in Oceanside, near San Diego, said San Diego County Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Jan Caldwell.

 

 

Police had previously learned Lambesis was looking for someone to carry out the killing, Caldwell said.

 

"The information came to us late last week. We acted quickly on it. I believe that we averted a great tragedy," she said.

 

Caldwell said the ongoing investigation prevented her from disclosing any details about why Lambesis might have wanted to have his wife killed or how police first learned about what they described as his murder plan.

If you don't want to be with someone then you just leave. You certainly don't have them killed. Some crazy fugs out there.

Beneath the encasing and frail words collapse were both good to me. An ocean between us was solid....

I've got a friend who's toured with AILD in the past and he's met the guy and his wife. He said they both seemed incredibly nice, and that they had even adopted a kid from Africa. He had heard that she had filed for divorce recently, so maybe that was part of the motivation. Still...

 

ETA: They had adopted 3 kids from Africa, according to Wikipedia...

It would have been metal if he did it himself.
