Hidden Track

Former 70 Volt Parade lead singer and Hidden Track Flufftarget Trey Anastasio recently spent two days in jail after violating the conditions of his participation in the Washington County Drug Treatment Court.

None of the early reports indicate the nature of Big Red’s violation, but we can’t help but fear the worst (of course, it might very well be a missed court date). According to the Post Star, Anastasio spent his time locked up with the general population of Washington County Jail. No word yet on if he was anyone’s bitch.

If you’ll allow us to be lame and fanboyish, this latest chapter of the Trey Anastasio saga certainly sucks — it really seemed like he was turning things around. Trey seemed to successfully insulate himself within the friendly confines of Saratoga Springs over the past 10 months, flying as far below the radar as humanly possible.

Things were looking up for the return Big Red in October when he returned to the stage with some inspired playing during a Phil and Friends concert in Glens Falls. After this latest incident, it’s anyone’s guess as to when he will return to the road. Read on after the jump for a full timeline of Trey’s travails…

December 15th, 2006: Anastasio was stopped for keeping the tires off the line in Whitehall, New York, which led to his arrest for Driving While Drugging:

“Subject was observed to be under the Influence of a Narcotic Substance after failing Field Testing. Anastasio was also found to have a Suspended Driver’s License in the State of New York. Anastasio was also found to be in possession of an assorted amount of Prescription Medications, Hydrocodone, Percocet, and Xanax, being prescribed to another person. Anastasio was charged with Aggravated Unlicensed Operation 3rd, Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance 7th, and DWI - Drugs.”

Trey apologized later that day: “I feel terrible about what happened last night, and I am deeply sorry for any embarrassment I have caused my friends, family and fans”

December 31st, 2006: Big Red references his arrest by playing an acoustic version of Makisupa Policeman during the encore of his NYE show in Atlantic City. In the aftermath, a patently stupid debate breaks out on Phish message boards about whether Trey was making light of a serious situation.

January 3rd, 2007: Reports surface that heroin was one of the substances found in Trey’s car on 12/15/06. The whole Anastasio family makes an appearance at the Whitehall Municipal Court, where Trey is arraigned and enters a plea of not guilty.
