The Illinois General Assembly defines this crime as a Class A misdemeanor, which carries with it a “determinate [prison] sentence of less than one year.”

Here’s is Judd’s mugshot:

Judd’s bail has been set at $25,000, with a court date set for this Friday, October 11.

Nachtmystium currently have multiple shows scheduled for October and November, including one in Columbus, OH on Tuesday, October 15, and one as the headliners of Metal Insider’s CMJ Showcase on Wednesday, October 16; it remains to be known if Judd will be able to make it to that performance or not.
