Marilyn Manson turns himself in to police over alleged spitting incident

Marilyn Manson has reportedly turned himself in to police in the US over an alleged spitting incident.

A warrant was issued for his arrest following allegations he spat on a videographer during a performance in the town of Gilford, New Hampshire, in 2019.

The 52-year-old turned himself in over two counts of Class A misdemeanour simple assault last Friday, according to TMZ.

A Class A misdemeanour in the state of New Hampshire carries a possible jail sentence of less than one year, as well as a fine of up to $2,000 (£1,440).

TMZ said the rocker has since been released on bail, under the conditions that he will not commit any crimes while on release.

Manson, real name Brian Warner, has also reportedly agreed not to have any contact with the alleged victim.

The singer was allegedly involved in a run-in with a videographer at a show at the Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion, in August 2019.

Authorities first issued an arrest warrant in October of that year, but said this May that he had been dodging them.

His legal team disputed this, claiming he had been in contact with police officers since the warrant was issued.
