Rock Legend Arrested for OD’ing in Front of Son
Former “Social Distortion” drummer Casey Royer was arrested in Orange County last week — after the 52-year-old punk legend allegedly OD’d on heroin in front of his 12-year-old son.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, Casey was watching TV with his son when he experienced an overdose … at which point his son ran next door for help … and the neighbors called cops.
According to law enforcement, his house was littered with garbage and drug paraphernalia — including needles — when police arrived.
Casey — who currently sings for the punk band D.I. — was immediately hospitalized nearby and survived. He was arrested soon after.
Casey was officially charged today — with one count of child endangerment, and one count of being under the influence of heroin. He’s currently being held on $120,000 bail.
