Stone Temple Pilots vocalist Scott Weiland
has had yet another run in with the police.
Weiland was arrested early Monday morning
at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas and charged with battery/domestic
violence. Police were called out to the scene by hotel security following
an altercation Weiland had with his wife Mary over prescription drugs,
according police reports. Weiland was arrested and held in a Las
Vegas jail for 12 hours before being released on $3,000 bail.
Here are the details according to the official
police report: "Weiland states she and her husband of one and a half
years, Scott Weiland, had a verbal argument over prescription medication
that had been prescribed by a Dr. Cary Logan. In an attempt to stop
Scott from leaving the room, Mary sat in front of the door. Scott became
physical when he physically removed Mary from the front of the door.
He did this by forcefully grabbing her
arms and moving her to the right side of the door. He then pushed Mary
against the wall several times. Scott then left the room. As the result
of the altercation, Mary has some bruising on her left bicep, as well as
her right bicep."
Weiland has had numerous run in with the
law since 1995 when he was first arrested on drug charges. His last drug
arrest in 1999 lead to a conviction and the singer was given a one-year
prison sentence. This is Weilands first arrest since his release from
prison in 2000.
