Gene Simmons Update

Slightly more information is emerging regarding an L.A.P.D. search of the home belonging to Gene Simmons and his wife, Shannon Tweed.  Like the first reports, police are saying the KISS-man and his family are not suspected of any criminal activity.

The couple’s Benedict Canyon home was searched Thursday morning by the Los Angeles Police Department’s Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, according to the Los Angeles Times’ L.A. Now.  The blog reports officer Mike Lopez as saying the search was part of an ongoing investigation.

Both Simmons and Tweed pointed out via Twitter that they are not involved in anything illegal.

According to L.A. Now, a Simmons representative issued a statement saying the police are investigating an incident that happened while KISS was on tour.
