Heavy Metal Fan Arrested for Posting Exodus Lyrics on Facebook

WFIE 14 News is reporting that 31-year-old James Evans of Muhlenberg County, Kentucky was arrested on terroristic threatening charges after he posted lyrics from a song by the heavy metal band Exodus on Facebook.

Evans remained in jail for eight days before he was released at a hearing at which his case was deferred for six months.

The heavy metal music site Loudwire quoted additional comments by Exodus guitarist Gary Holt, who said, "The idea that an individual in this great country of ours could be arrested for simply posting lyrics to a song is something I never believed could happen in a free society."
