Weiland Arrested:
BURBANK, Calif. (AP) -- Stone Temple Pilots lead singer
Scott Weiland was released on $10,000 bail after police
arrested him for investigation of drug possession.
Officers pulled Weiland over early Sunday morning for
driving without his lights on, said Burbank Police Sgt.
Tracy Sanchez. They reported noticing that Weiland had
narcotics in the car and arrested him. Authorities didn't
say what kind of drug Weiland allegedly had.
The 35-year-old singer was released later that day.
Weiland has had several run-ins with the law in recent
years. He was arrested in the mid-1990s for investigation
of cocaine and heroin possession, and served jail time
in 1999 after repeatedly violating his probation and failing
to complete drug rehabilitation programs.
In 2001, he pleaded guilty to domestic battery following
a fight with his wife at the Hard Rock hotel in Las Vegas.
The judge agreed to dismiss the charges as long as Weiland
underwent counseling.
His wife, Mary, filed for divorce last fall because of
irreconcilable differences. The couple has two young children.
