In a testament to the white-hot power of Christian nu-metal, two people who were booted from a P.O.D. show in Birmingham, AL were arrested after — allegedly deliberately — crashing their car into the venue. The suspects tried to escape on foot but were eventually caught, with one suffering minor injuries. 

From Ashes to New are on tour with P.O.D., and their frontman Matt Brandyberry posted a video explaining what happened later that night. 

Here's his account of the events that transpired:

This dude got kicked out of our show tonight. I guess he got mad at the security guard for doing that. I guess they got into a fight and, from what I'm hearing, someone pulled a gun — security pulled a gun or something like that — and they got into a fight. And then this dude left… I guess what ended up happening was after he left, he came back with his car and he tried to run the security guard over. … This dude ran his fucking car into the bar, into the club. … I guess he must've hit the security guard, but the security guard seems fine; he's bleeding, but he seems like he's fine. But the dude who's driving the car is mangled. The dude is, like, all messed up.

P.O.D. are currently on a major US tour celebrating the 20th anniversary of their album Satellite. Hopefully, there are fewer car crashes on the remainder of the trek.
