Singer-songwriter Todd Snider was arrested at a hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah for an alleged outburst while being treated for injuries sustained from an alleged assault, according to <\/a>Rolling Stone<\/a>. On Monday, Snider\u2019s team posted<\/a> to his official Instagram page announcing the cancellation of Snider\u2019s High, Lonesome and Then Some 2025 Tour as a result of the attack, writing that he \u201csustained severe injuries as the victim of a violent assault outside of his hotel\u201d before the scheduled show in Salt Lake.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cTodd will be unable to perform for an undetermined amount of time. We deeply apologize for the cancellation and any inconvenience it causes. We appreciate your understanding as Todd receives needed medical treatment. We hope to have more information on new dates soon,\u201d the Instagram post read. However, a Salt Lake PD spokesperson told <\/a>The Salt Lake Tribune<\/a> on Monday that there was no record of an assault victim by Snider\u2019s name. On Tuesday, another statement from local law enforcement (via RS) said that police did respond to a report of an alleged assault, but \u201climited information was obtained\u201d and \u201cthe exact location and details surrounding this incident are unclear.\u201d The statement added, \u201cWe encourage anyone with information related to this incident to contact the police department.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Rolling Stone, Snider was taken to a local hospital, treated, and discharged. But the artist \u201cinitially refused to leave.\u201d Per a statement from a Salt Lake City PD spokesperson, \u201cHospital staff discharged Mr. Snider who then left, however he returned sometime later and began making threats to assault staff members.\u201d He was then reportedly arrested on charges of disorderly conduct, threat of violence, and trespassing. He was later released from jail and no formal charges have yet been filed.<\/p>\n

Snider has spoken in the past about his struggles with substance abuse and run-ins with the law (\u201cI\u2019ve never done longer than 24 hours in jail, but I\u2019ve done that six times, maybe more,\u201d he admitted frankly in conversation with <\/a>The A.V. Club<\/a> in 2009). He released his most recent album, High, Lonesome, And Then Some in October.\u00a0<\/p>\n
