"The frontman for the Christian heavy metal band As I Lay Dying was
arrested on Tuesday for allegedly trying to hire a detective posing as
a hitman to kill his estranged wife.

According to the Los Angeles Times, 32-year-old Tim Lambesis was
arrested in Oceanside, California and charged with one count of of
solicitation to commit murder and two counts of conspiracy to commit a
crime. His arraignment is scheduled for Thursday.

KFMB-TV reported on Tuesday that Lambesis’ wife, Meggan, filed for
divorce in September 2012. San Diego County Sheriffs officials said
they received a tip on May 2 as to Lambesis’ alleged intentions and
set up a meeting between the detective and the singer.


“When you put something out there like this, you don’t know who you’re
talking to,” said Sheriffs Department spokesperson Jan Caldwell. “And
when you do something this evil and this sinister, you might be
talking to a deputy sheriff.”

Lambesis’ band had recently returned from a tour of Asia, and was
scheduled to embark on another tour on May 30. It was nominated for a
Grammy award for Best Metal Performance in 2007."
