King 810 are certainly making a name for themselves. Beyond having a fan mutilate himself to promote their band and bringing some heavy artillery onstage at a festival performance, it seemed like these guys were all just show. That's until two members of the band got arrested while they were trying to board a plane to leave the country and play Download Festival in England. Vocalist David Gunn and bassist Eugene Gill, were arrested and taken into custody on Friday on charges of “assault with intent to do great bodily harm.” The incident in question happened in October of last year, outside of a bar in Flint, MI where the duo allegedly got into a fight with an unidentified individual. Never missing a chance for some free publicity, the band snapped the below photo and released a message on Facebook: 
The message reads:
“We will not be performing at Download this weekend. Two of us were put behind bars in Flint, MI. on Thursday afternoon as we drove into Detroit Metro Airport for the flight to London. “Upon arrival the Michigan State Police Fugitive Team arrested David and Eugene and took them away in handcuffs. “At the time of this writing they remain in jail for an alleged assault from last year. “We apologize we cannot make it. We promise we will be there as soon as we possibly can.”
There will be a hearing this week and the two band members could face a maximum of 10 years in prison and fines up to $5,000 each. Roadrunner Records should be proud of their latest signings. [via Lambgoat]
