Conductor Arrested for Non-Payment of Child Support

This week, it is reported that conductor Paul Hillier had to make an unusual detour before leading the ensemble Ars Nova Copenhagen at Lincoln Center's Mostly Mozart Festival this past Friday night.  While in route to Alice Tully Hall from Copenhagen, he spent part of last week in New Jersey in jail after police arrested him for an outstanding warrant for criminal nonpayment of child support.

A newspaper reported that Mr. Hillier, who was born in England and now lives in Denmark, was indicted on August 5^th by an Oregon grand jury on four felony counts of criminal nonsupport.  He allegedly failed to make approximately $90,000 in payments for his two daughters who live in the state. 

Hillier was arrested at Newark international Airport and then taken to Essex County Jail.  The newspaper reported that the conductor had wired money to an account in the Support Enforcement Division of Oregon's Multnomah County and a deputy district attorney said that he has, "been fairly cooperative, once we got his attention."
