AC/DC drummer charged with attempting to procure murder in New Zealand

New Zealand police on Thursday charged AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd, 60, with attempting to procure murder, threatening to kill and possession of narcotics. The Australian musician entered no plea to the charges during a brief court appearance in Tauranga, about 200 kilometres southeast of Auckland. He was remanded on bail with restrictions on his movements and ordered to re-appear in court at the end of the month. Rudd could face up to 10 years’ jail if convicted of the most serious charge of attempting to procure murder. Police arrested Rudd during a raid on his home earlier Thursday. The raid followed a tipoff from a member of the public, police said.
