Singer Wanted For Parole Jump Arrested

FOX5's Exclusive Coverage Led To Arrest

Metro police have arrested the former lead singer of a Las Vegas band who was wanted in connection with jumping parole.

Ronnie Radke, who was wanted in connection with jumping parole, was arrested Tuesday.

Radke was charged and convicted of battery in the death of Michael Cook.

A little more than two years ago, Cook was shot and killed near Shadow Ridge High School at 5050 Brent Lane.

The charges against the alleged killer were dropped, because Chase Rader, 22, had a viable claim of self-defense, police said.

This stemmed from a fight. Ronnie Radke, who was involved, was charged and convicted of battery, but police said he jumped parole and is a wanted man.

Radke was once part of the band Escape The Fate and still has a fan site on MySpace.
