Animal was in Europe, I believe racing his bike. His house got raided by DEA when he was away. He got charged for having 1,4 (the cleaner) as intent to sell and distribute this date rape drug precursor - WTF. Of course this was just some stuff he had for some time to use for cleaning bike parts.
This made national news and he's been out of the country planning how to handle this. I think he may have "just" returned.
