Lynyrd Skynrd's original drummer was arrested Monday by the St. John's County, Fla. Sheriff's Department for failing to properly register as a sex offender.

The former drummer for the rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd, Thomas Delmer Pyle, aka Artimus Pyle, 59, of Asheville, North Carolina, was booked Monday after he came to the sheriff's office to speak with detectives about a 1993 conviction. Pyle pleaded guilty in 1993 to charges of attempted capital sexual battery by an adult on a victim under the age of 12, and principal to lewd and lascivious acts on a child under 16 years old. He was sentenced to eight years probation and ordered to register as a sex offender.

TMZ obtained charging documents in which Pyle explains the reason for not registering his address is that he "travels a lot."

For now, his sweet home will be behind bars. His bail is currently set at $10,000

UPDATE: Pyle posted bail on Tuesday evening.

1. "Thomas Delmer Pyle, aka Artimus Pyle": Foreordained.

I mean, with a name like that?
What else could you expect?

2. I wonder where they get some of the lyrics for these songs

WHAT'S YOUR NAME

Well, it's eight o'clock in Boise, Idaho.
I'll find my limo driver, Mister, take us to the show.
I've done made some plans for later on tonight:
I'll find a little queenie and I know I can treat her right.

What's your name, little girl, what's your name?
Shootin' you straight, little girl, won't you do the's ame.

Back at the hotel, Lord, we got such a mess.
It seems, one of the crew had a go with one of the guests, ah yes.
Well, the police said we can't drink in the bar, what a shame.
Won't you come upstairs, girl, and have a drink of champagne.

What's your name, little girl, what's your name?
Shootin' you straight, little girl, for there ain't no shame.
What's your name, little girl, what's your name?
Shootin' you straight, little girl, won't you do the same.

What's your name, little girl, what's your name?
Shootin' you straight, little girl, won't you do the same.

Nine o'clock the next day and I'm ready to go.
I got six hundred miles to ride and do one more show, oh no.
Can I get you a taxi home, it sure was grand.
When I come back here next year I wanna see you again.

What was your name, little girl, what's your name?
Shootin' you straight, little girl, for there ain't no shame.
What was your name, little girl, what's your'n ame?
Shootin' you straight, little girl, won't you do the same.

- Gary Rossington & Ronnie Van Zant
