Member of Chase Matthew's Band Arrested On Charges Involving A Minor...

According to a recent report from Owensboro Times, a member of Chase Matthew’s band was arrested in Owensboro on an indictment warrant tied to serious charges out of Tennessee.

Records cited by the outlet state that Carsen Richards, 22, of Hendersonville, Tennessee, was booked into the Daviess County Detention Center on May 9. Authorities say Richards was arrested on charges including second-degree sodomy and incest involving a minor under 18 where the accused was allegedly three or more years older. Detention center records showed Richards was being held on a $75,000 full cash bond Saturday night.

Public jail and court records referenced in the story show the arrest stemmed from an indictment warrant, meaning the charges had already been reviewed and formally filed prior to Richards being taken into custody in Kentucky. Additional details about the investigation or upcoming court proceedings have not yet been publicly released.

The situation has continued gaining attention due to Chase Matthew’s growing profile in country music and Richards’ reported involvement with the live band. As of now, neither further public statements nor additional official case details have been widely reported.
