Former Tactosa and Peacemaker FL guitarist Joseph Schultz has been arrested on a series of disturbing charges. The 24-year-old was booked on October 17th, 2025, in Volusia County, Florida, on twenty counts, including possession of a sexual performance by a child (enhanced) and possession of pornography involving animals. According to public records, fifteen charges involve child content, while five involve animals.

Peacemaker FL issued an official statement on Tuesday (25th), addressing his status with the band:

“Joseph Schultz is no longer a part of Peacemaker. We removed him from the lineup 2 months ago, before the recent reports surfaced. Peacemaker has always stood firmly against the kind of vile behavior now being alleged. Our music has never shied away from calling it out, we write about confronting and destroying it in our lyrics, and that’s woven into who we are. Our principles aren’t changing and our stance on this is permanent. We are focusing on what’s ahead and gearing up for a massive 2026. See you soon.”

This marks another troubling chapter connected to Schultz’s former circle. His previous band, Tactosa, dissolved in 2023 following serious allegations against then-vocalist Kyle Weeden, including claims from a woman regarding incidents that allegedly occurred years earlier.
