“Don’t give him the opportunity, value your life and leave.”

His bond was listed at 6,000 dollars and he had been released on bail till his arraignment scheduled for October 22, 2026.

His lawyer, Steve Sadow, described the allegations as false and questioned Kendrick’s motives, noting that the police report was filed about a month after the alleged incident.

“Mr. Roberts is innocent and has pled not guilty to the charges. He respectfully requests that his friends, fans and the general public not prejudge the situation and allow the judicial process to run its course.”
