Following a statement published by Americana singer-songwriter Todd Snider’s team on Monday noting that Snider had to cancel his tour dates after he was the victim of an alleged assault prior to a show in Salt Lake City, Utah, it’s now been reported that the singer/songwriter was later arrested and booked for “disorderly conduct, trespassing and making threats of violence.”
According to Utah news site KSL.com, Snider arrived at Holy Cross Hospital and alleged that he was the victim of an attack outside his hotel. When he was later discharged from the hospital, he reportedly refused to leave. The outlet reports that though he did eventually leave the hospital, he later returned and began making verbal threats to hospital staff.
In a statement to Billboard, the Salt Lake City Police Department noted that Snider was arrested on Sunday in front of Holy Cross Hospital in Salt Lake City after he had been discharged. According to the statement, after being discharged, Snider returned to the hospital and “threatened hospital staff at that time.” The statement went on to say that Snider was “booked into jail for disorderly conduct, trespassing and making threats of violence.”
A post on Snider’s official social media on Monday stated, “We are heartbroken to announce the cancellation of the High, Lonesome and Then Some 2025 Tour dates. Ahead of Todd Snider’s show in Salt Lake City, Todd sustained severe injuries as the victim of a violent assault outside of his hotel. Todd will be unable to perform for an undetermined amount of time. We deeply apologize for the cancellation and any inconvenience it causes.”
The statement continued: “We appreciate your understanding as Todd receives needed medical treatment. We hope to have more information on new dates soon.”
Representatives for Snider have not responded to Billboard‘s request for comment regarding Snider’s arrest.
Snider’s High, Lonesome and Then Some Tour initially kicked off Thursday in Englewood, Colorado, and had been slated to support Snider’s High, Lonesome and Then Some album, which released in October via Aimless Records/Thirty Tigers.
