Cancer Christ<\/a> <\/strong>vocalist Anthony Mehlhaff<\/strong> was arrested on Wednesday following an eventful few hours that saw the musician allegedly engage in a series of dangerous and concerning acts. When he was arrested, the 40-year old singer was charged with vandalism, vehicle theft, reckless driving, kidnapping, theft, first-degree burglary, robbery, obstructing an officer and battery.<\/p>\n According to a report in Los Angeles Times<\/a><\/em>, Mehlhaff<\/strong> first began in Buck Meadows, an area in nearby Mariposa County. He allegedly touched the stomach of a pregnant waitress, telling her that \u201cThe spirits led me to you and your baby belongs to me,” among other comments.<\/p>\n After that, according to Mariposa County sheriff Jeremy Briese<\/strong>, “Mehlhaff<\/strong> then stole several drinks, assaulted another employee of the restaurant and sped off in his vehicle towards Yosemite National Park,\u201d where he stripped to his underwear and attempted to kidnap a store manager. Following that, he allegedly stole the manager’s car, rammed another vehicle and later crashed, which led to his arrest. While being checked out at a local hospital, Mehlhaff<\/strong> then allegedly assaulted deputies. <\/p>\n \u201cThis man drove all around our county terrorizing our visitors and community members,\u201d Briese<\/strong> said later in a statement. \u201cI am extremely happy that no one was seriously injured. This man\u2019s behavior was erratic and dangerous.\u201d<\/p>\n As of Friday, the singer was still being held on $100,000 bail and Cancer Christ<\/a><\/strong> had been removed from their upcoming tour with GWAR<\/a><\/strong>, presumably as a result. Cancer Christ<\/a><\/strong> guitarist Tommy Meehan<\/strong> recently joined GWAR<\/a><\/strong> as a live member. The future of Cancer Christ<\/a><\/strong> is currently unclear.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
