VEKTOR – David DiSanto Arrested For Throwing Beer On A Christian Protester

David DiSanto, vocalist and guitarist for progressive thrashers VEKTOR, was reportedly arrested on Saturday, June 1st at the Scion Rock Fest in Memphis, TN for throwing beer on a protester. Complete details have yet to surface, but according to Municipal Waste, who also preformed, DiSanto “got locked up for throwing a beer on a Christian protester.” Photos published by Earache Records and Municipal Waste can be viewed HERE.

UPDATE: Vektor has issued the following statement:

“Alright alright alright. As many of you know it was an intriguing evening in Memphis after the show itself (which did rule, thanks to you all, by the way). We’d like to clarify a bit though, the blurb going around is sounding a bit misleading. 1. “Threw a beer” does not mean “chucked a glass bottle”, or even a can/cup. (allegedly) beer was splashed out of a plastic cup, no violence. 2. He’s not locked away or anything, only a misdemeanor… We are getting a well needed chuckle from all the FREE DAVE/FREE VEKTOR stuff though. Even though you guys have put a somewhat positive spin on it, it was a stressful ordeal for everyone involved last night, and all before an early morning flight. He is safe and sound though.

We are still missing details, as none of the 3 of us actually saw what happened and haven’t been able to communicate with him whatsoever since. Thanks for your amusing support, nothing remotely like this has ever happened to him (or us) so we’re kind of dizzy. Pretty absurd, but not the end of the world or anything. We probably shouldn’t say much more yet, and we have yet to see if or how this will affect things. It is unfortunate, but what’s done is done and hopefully the consequences are as mild as the (alleged) act.”
