Marilyn Manson wanted in assault in New Hampshire

Police in New Hampshire say they have an arrest warrant for the musician Marilyn Manson on misdemeanor assault counts stemming from 2019.

The Gilford Police Department made the announcement in a Facebook post Tuesday.

Police said that the two counts of misdemeanor simple assault are related to an incident at the Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion involving a videographer.

Manson was performing a concert at the venue on Aug. 18, 2019, when the alleged assault occurred, police said.

The videographer, who was subcontracted by a New Hampshire company to record the concert, was in a stage pit area when the alleged assault occurred, police said.

Exactly what occurred as alleged by police was not immediately clear Tuesday night.

A bail commissioner found probable cause and an arrest warrant was issued on Oct. 8, 2019, police said.

“Mr. Warner, his Agent and legal counsel have been aware of the warrant for some time and no effort has been made by him to return to New Hampshire to answer the pending charges,” the police department said, referring to Manson’s real name of Brian Warner.
