Five Finger Death Punch guitarist Zoltan Bathory visited state troopers with the Nevada Highway Patrol (NHP) in Las Vegas last Friday (April 10th). He went to show his support two weeks after trooper Sergeant Ben Jenkins was murdered while assisting a stranded motorist in Ely, Nevada.

Bathory, a major supporter of local and national law enforcement, frequently visits police departments to talk with officers and discuss various topics affecting law enforcement.

The guitarist is a regular supporter of Nevada's Injured Police Officers Fund (IPOF), a fund set up to assist officers injured on the job or family members left behind by a fallen officer. Five Finger Death Punch has also supported various organizations benefiting first responder-related causes over the years.

Five Finger Death's latest album, F8, was released on February 28th. The band's spring tour with Papa Roach, I Prevail and Ice Nine Kills has been postponed and rescheduled for the fall. The trek was originally due to run from April 8th to May 20th, but will now kick off on September 28th in Sunrise, Florida.
