The guitarist for metal band Manowar has been arrested for allegedly possessing child pornography, The Blast has learned.
53-year-old Karl Logan, who has played with the band since 1994, was arrested in Charlotte, North Carolina and charged with six counts of third-degree sexual exploitation of a minor.
According to local laws, the felony-level charge is handed down when "a person commits the offense of third-degree sexual exploitation of a minor if, knowing the character or content of the material, he possesses material that contains a visual representation of a minor engaging in sexual activity."
A spokesperson for the Mecklenburg County Sheriffs Office tells The Blast a warrant was issued back in August for his arrest and he was booked into the local jail.
Logan's bail was set at $35,000 and he has since bonded out.
Manowar is currently in the middle of their farewell world tour, "The Final Battle."
