AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd has been charged with attempting to arrange a murder in New Zealand, along with threatening to kill and possession of methamphetamine and cannabis.
According to the New Zealand news site SunLive, the 60 year-old drummer allegedly attempted to procure the murder of two men, and was arrested Thursday. His Taraunga home was raided Thursday morning and he later appeared in Tauranga District Court. He is expected to reappear in court in three weeks.
Rudd is accused of procuring the murder between September 25 and 26, according to court documents obtained by SunLive. The drugs were found in his home Thursday when police arrested him.
Rudd joined the Australian band in 1975, but was kicked out in 1983. He rejoined in 1994 and has been with the band ever since.
In 2010, he was charged for cannabis possession under his legal name, Phillip Witschke.
AC/DC will release their new album, “Rock or Bust,” later this year.
Here is the original article from SunLive:

AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd, who is charged with procuring murder and possession of methamphetamine, has been released on bail.
Rudd, 60, is also facing one count of possession of cannabis and threatening to kill.
The thunder cracked across the sky when he appeared in Tauranga District Court this afternoon, dressed in streets clothes and minus his shoes.
The drummer and Tauranga businessman was arrested after police raided his Bureta home this morning following information from a member of the public.
According to court documents, Rudd is accused of procuring murder between September 25 and September 26.
The threatening charge relates to an incident on September 26 and the drugs charges relate to his arrest today.
Details of the complaints and the person Rudd is accused of procuring murder for has been suppressed by Judge Louis Bidois.
At the request of acting defence lawyer Tony Rickard-Simms, who was acting on behalf of Paul Mabey, QC, Rudd was remanded on bail until November 27 when he will appear in a Registrar's List.
His bail conditions are to reside at his Bureta home, not to contact any of the complainants on the court documents and not to enter Maleme Street or Riverton Road.
Rudd arriving at court in Tauranga today.
He looks like a lot of the people up in Everett, WA.
