Carsen Richards, bassist for country singer Chase Matthew, has been arrested in Kentucky for allegedly sexually molesting a minor.
The 22-year-old was taken into custody on Saturday in Owensboro after performing at the BQ and Barrels show.
Chase Matthew released a statement distancing himself from Richards, saying he was 'sick to my stomach' and that he does not support such behavior.
Richards has been charged with sodomy of an individual under 18 and is being held on a $75,000 full cash bond.
The circumstances of the allegations remain unclear, with no details regarding the incident released.
Richards was immediately removed from the band and is no longer associated with Chase Matthew or his team.
