Stephen Wesley Ungerbuehler, better known as Steve Unger, bass player for Metal Church, has been arrested on Monday.
He actuated marihuana plantations in three different counties. On Wednesday, he was charged with organized crime, unlawfully manufacturing a controlled substance and money laundering.
His lawyer Jay Berneburg told the press that his client "adamantly denies" the allegations against him. “Ungerbuehler is a professional musician who has earned his money legitimately through record sales, concerts and other contracts. This is just another case of the war on drugs run amok.”, says Berneburg.
