An active arrest warrant for alleged assault has reportedly been issued for rocker Marilyn Manson in New Hampshire. The warrant, which was widely reported on Tuesday, was issued in October 2019.

Manson — whose real name is Brian Warner — is wanted in New Hampshire over two charges of simple assault in connection with a videographer during a concert in August 2019, according to a report by the New York Times.

The chief of the Guliford Police Department, Anthony J. Bean Burpee, told the newspaper that the arrest warrant charges the rocker with two misdemeanor counts of simple assault in connection with an incident at a Manson concert at the Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion in Guilford, New Hampshire.

Howard King, a lawyer for Manson, told the New York Times that a venue videographer had asked for more than $35,000 “after a small amount of spit came into contact with their arm,” adding, “after we asked for evidence of any alleged damages, we never received a reply.”

“It is no secret to anyone who has attended a Marilyn Manson concert that he likes to be provocative on stage, especially in front of a camera,” King added. “This whole claim is ludicrous, but we remain committed to cooperating with authorities, as we have done throughout.”
