Update: Velvet Revolver frontman Scott Weiland
entered a plea of no contest to a misdemeanor DUI charge on July 2nd. Update:
Weiland was sentenced on Thursday(July 8) in Los Angeles. He was placed
on three years probation, ordered to enroll in a six-month drug treatment
program, three years of attendance at three Narcotics Anonymous meetings
per week and is also subject to regular drug testing.
Weiland has a long history of entanglements
with the legal system over substance abuse. Last August he was sentenced
to three years probation by a California judge for a May 2003 arrest for
possession of heroin and cocaine. Part of his probation was mandatory drug
counseling. Last January he was ordered by the court to check in to a rehab
after going AWOL from the center.
In April, a judge gave Weiland permission
to tour with Velvet Revolver. The band which features Guns N Roses alums
Slash, Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum hit the top of the charts with their
debut album Contraband.
