SALT LAKE CITY (KTVX) — Singer and songwriter Todd Snider was arrested at a Salt Lake City hospital for disorderly conduct after he was reportedly the victim of an assault.
Snider was arrested Sunday, police records show, while recovering at an area hospital after the alleged assault. He was on tour in Salt Lake City for his newest album, “High, Lonesome and Then Some.”
According to a statement from Aimless Inc. on behalf of Snider, he was the victim of a “violent assault” outside his hotel and suffered “severe injuries.”
Statement on behalf of Snider
“Todd will be unable to perform for an undetermined amount of time. We deeply apologize for any cancellation and any inconvenience it causes,” the statement continued. “We appreciate your understanding as Todd receives needed medical treatment. We hope to have more information on new dates soon.”
Court documents indicate that Snider was arrested on Sunday for disorderly conduct (an infraction), criminal trespassing after a notice against entry (Class B Misdemeanor), and Threat of Violence (Class B Misdemeanor).
Snider allegedly disagreed with the Salt Lake City Regional Hospital discharging him, the arrest document explains. He then “started yelling/cursing at the staff,” which “caused public inconvenience and alarm among hospital employees and residents,” authorities added.
The singer did leave after being told to do so by a medical professional, only to return and verbally threaten someone in the hospital, the report continued.
He was booked into the Salt Lake County Jail on the evening of November 2, where he was awaiting charges.
No details about the alleged assault outside Snider’s hotel have been released. The rest of Snider’s tour has been canceled.
