Benante’s booking form shows a court date set for this Friday, Aug. 3.
Anthrax is currently out on the road as part of Mayhem Festival, due to stop in Mansfield, Mass. at the Comcast Center on Aug. 3. Benante missed the first few weeks of the tour due to a hand injury, with Shadows Fall drummer Jason Bittner sitting in.
