Young Animals Singer Arrested. Raising Money For Legal Funds

Young Animals (Los Angeles, CA) The Autonomous Music Festival this past weekend in Victorville was to feature performances from some of the best up and coming LA bands including The Health Club, Die Rockers Die, Halloween Swim Team and Young Animals. Unfortunately the event lacked the proper permits and was busted up by the cops before it really got a chance to start. On his way back from Victorville Spencer Rollins - the singer for Young Animals was pulled over by police with a broken license plate light. Spencer was completely sober and compliant when the cops asked to search his car. In their detailed search the police found a single pill of Darvocet - a prescription pain killer and controlled substance in the mess on the floor of his car. The San Bernardino Sheriff's Dept immediately arrested him and charged him with possession of a controlled substance which is a schedule four felony. His car was impounded and he was released from county jail the following day after posting $10,000 bail. I like to think that the police are here to help us when we are in need but injustices such as these really make me question our legal system. It's quite obvious that his arrest was meant to set an example. Spencer was treated as a felon for a single pull - which came from legitimate prescription and had been lost in the mess on the floor for over a year. Meanwhile dozens of violent criminals, sex offenders, and pedophiles roam the streets scott free. Spencer posted the following message on Young Animals myspace page earlier today asking for donations to help pay his escalating legal fees. If you can help out with a few dollars please click here to donate. The band is also trying to plan a benefit show later this month to help raise money for legal fees. If you can help out at all please email the band at younganimalsmusic@gmail.com [MP3] Young Animals - Rot [MP3] Young Animals - Another Blue Christmas ----------------------- FROM SPENCER OF YOUNG ANIMALS: On the way back from Victorville I was pulled over by the San Bernadino Sheriff for my license plate light being out. I was then arrested and charged for possession of a Controlled Substance. The controlled substance in question was a SINGLE PILL OF DARVOCET, which is a schedule four felony and since it is such my bail to be released from County Jail was 10,000 dollars, which means I only had to pay a thousand but still it's a thousand dollars i don't have. Because I am a poor man living on my parents couch I am asking anyone if they would like to help me set up a benefit show for my court fees. I have already incurred about seven thousand dollars including getting my car out of impound and my self out of county jail. I'm gonna set up a pay pal account that you can donate to if you'd like but my main goal is a make up show (or shows) for the botched autonomous music festival. If any acts are interested let me know. We want to set this up before my court date, which is June 28th. Thanks for yr ears Please re-post this and help a brother out just out from county jail spencer morgan rollins
