ALABAMA Shakes drummer, Steven William Johnson, has been charged with child abuse and torture.
The member of the Grammy Award-winning rock band was arrested on Wednesday on charges of wilful torture, wilful abuse and cruelly beating or otherwise wilfully maltreating a child under the age of 18, it has been reported.
Johnson is being held in custody at the Limestone County Jail with a bond of $21,500 set.
It is not currently clear whether Johnson has an attorney.
Johnson pleaded guilty in March 2020 to violating a domestic violence protection order in Limestone County.
He received a suspended sentence of a year in jail, with 24 months on probation.
The Athens, Alabama-based band has been on hiatus since 2018, when lead singer Brittany Howard decided to focus on her solo project.
