News that Of Mice & Men frontman Austin Carlile was arrested in Bowling Green, Ohio over the weekend hit the internet yesterday morning and quickly caused quite a mess for fans and reporters alike. Since the date was April 1, otherwise known as April Fool’s Day, many believed the numerous reports to be false or misleading. Even when sites like UTG used court documents as sources, people were persistent that we had it wrong because neither Carlile nor his bandmates would comment on the situation. We thought such a situation might be aided by hearing the news from another trustworthy source, and last night an ABC affiliate added the story to their televised news broadcast. You can view the segment, courtesy of ABC13, below.

Honestly, we hate reporting terrible news as much as you dislike reading that someone you admire was arrested for a crime you never thought they would commit. It sucks, especially when we know the person we’re writing about means so much to so many of our readers, but the truth needs to be heard and we plan on making sure that happens. Stay tuned to UTG in the coming weeks for updates on the situation. Carlile is due in court on April 15 for his preliminary hearing.
