The self-proclaimed Godfather of Heavy Metal didn’t run for Arlington Mayor in early 2021 “to become a poster boy for fighting a ruling that said that convicted felons couldn’t after they finished their sentences,” as he pointed out in a recent Observer interview.

the Texas Department of Public Safety still lists Warden as a lifetime registrant on the sex offender registry website. It’s a fact that led his opponent, current Arlington Mayor Jim Ross, to threaten to sue him in early 2021.

The Tarrant County district attorney offered him a plea deal of 40 days of community service after Warden was arrested on Nov. 14 in Quanah, Texas, on a warrant accusing him of fraud or tampering with a government document. He posted a $1,500 bond the next morning.“I like Colorado a lot, man. It's a groovy state,” Warden said. “I've been an avid pot smoker all my life. It's a hell of a freedom there.

And, unlike Paxton, Warden is determined to fight his fraud charge because he doesn’t want to quit smoking weed to do community service since he uses it for medicinal purposes. He said he is also disabled and unable to perform physical labor.
