Robin Thornton Harrell
Robin Thornton Harrell is the wife of former rock band bassist, Robert Todd Harrell known best as Todd Harrell.
Robin’s hubby is well known for being a founding member of the rock band, 3 Doors Down.
Her man rose to fame after he and local pals Brad Arnold and Matt Roberts formed the band in 1996. Their debut release, The Better Life –which featured the song ‘Kryptonite’ was certified platinum five times in 2001 while the song hit number one and won the band numerous awards. Their debut album sold more than five millions and garnered four #1 hit singles –making the band members international rock stars.
But Robin’s hubby succumbed to his addictions and was kicked off the band after he caused a fatal crash in 2013; high on alcohol, an opioid painkiller and an anti-anxiety drug, the musician hit a pickup truck and caused the driver to hit a guardrail. The man died from his injuries. He served two years in prison for vehicular homicide.
And the 46-year-old former bassist is far from being trouble free. Earlier this year he was arrested for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession of a controlled substance and domestic violence/simple assault. Most recently, reports say he may even get more time behind bars after he got drugs mail to him in jail.
It is not clear Todd’s and Robin’s current situation but it can’t be good. The couple was involved in a physical altercation which prompted his current arrest. After an alarm went off at their home in Mississippi and police arrived, Jennifer Dawn Fields told officers she and her musician hubby had been arguing and it turned physical. Police found weapons and drugs around the house.
