Harry Thornton was always a controversial character... but did he commit this crime?
Yesterday, police raided the house of heavy metal star Harry Thornton, since they had seen shady figures constantly entering and leaving the house with a package. They found that beneath the house, which he shared with a long time friend, was over £2,000,000 pounds worth of drugs. There were many differeent varieties, although most were class B or class C. He was finally seen arrested by the London Metropolitan Police at his home at 6.00 this morning.
In an official statement on the band website, lead singer Jason Smith said
Jason Smith wrote:We don't think that Harry actually commited this crime. He had been clean of drugs for about 3 years now, and his friend was previously well known in the drug circles. Of course, he can't play for us at the moment, since he's probably going to be imprisoned for a couple of years, but he'll pull through, and we'll welcome him with open arms. If he did do this crime, he needs to go to rehab and sort his shit out. Stay strong, my brother.
They have put all performances on hold until the situation is cleared up. The production of
The Aeronaut is currently at a halt as well. We ask you today this one poignant question; was Harry Thornton a drugs lord? Or is he just caught up in an awful scandal he didn't know about?
Harry Thornton wrote:I deny all the things i've been accused for. I can assure you that I did NOT have any involvement in this, nor did any of the members of Mind. However, my so called friend who shares the house with me, I believe commited this crime. I haven't taken any illegal drugs recently and I find these charges ridiculous. Why would I even bother to sell them if I'm part of a successful rock band?
Think you're good at bass? E-mail (OOC: PM) the band to become a temporary touring bassist until the charges have cleared and Harry's released.
