Rudd's arrest came after a 7 a.m. raid at his Tauranga, New Zealand, home, the Waikato Times reported. A judge refused to release the names of the alleged intended victims and the would-be hitman.
Rudd appeared in court Thursday afternoon and was charged with "attempting to procure a murder." Rudd did not enter a plea and was released on bail with the order that he not contact the hitman.
Rudd also is facing several drug charges.
Rudd was a member of AC/DC during its most influential phase in the late 1970s and early 1980s, including when the band released the album Back in Black. The album includes such hits as "Shoot to Thrill."
