Just over a week since his conviction and sentencing, former AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd has been arrested and is back in custody.
Phil Rudd in a previous appearance at Tauranga District Court.
He was arrested at his Tauranga home last night and is due to appear in the Tauranga District Court on Monday morning.
The circumstances surrounding the latest arrest are not yet known but some media reports say prostitutes were at the house when the arrest was made.
Rudd was in his first week of an eight month home detention sentence.
During an appearance in April, Rudd, had pleaded guilty to threatening to kill a person, possession of methamphetamine and cannabis.
Earlier this year he was set to defend the charges at a judge alone trial.
However, when he appeared in court on April 21, Rudd entered guilty pleas on the three charges.
A second count of threatening to kill was withdrawn by the prosecution.
On July 9 Rudd was unsuccessful in a bid to be discharged without conviction, claiming that a conviction would prevent him from travelling to Japan, Canada, and the US to tour with AC/DC.
An appeal had been lodged by his lawyer Craig Tuck.

Judging by the stories coming out of Mt Eden sending him to prison will be like home from home. Thanks for the entertainment tho Phil. Tauranga needs you.

not so much the visitors and more the alcohol and drug ingestion, and why would the Police not be allowed to check to see if he was obeying his court imposed bail restrictions!!!, and some think that "P" does not fry your brain..... Phil could be on the poster advertising this heinous chemical, go away Phil the joke is now continuously on you, you stupid little man!!!!

He is on Home Detention is an alternative to prison and the same rules apply in regards to drugs/alcohol and it is also very relevant who visits!
Leave him be
