Wes Scantlin Not Charged After Bomb Squad Called To His House

(TeamRock) Puddle Of Mudd frontman Wes Scantlin has come under fire after his fake car bomb plot to deter local thieves sparked a neighborhood evacuation, according to TMZ.

The singer rigged a fake explosive to his car outside his West Hollywood home after it had been broken into a number of times. The 'homemade car alarm' included a radio placed under one car with wires leading to the motor and a second vehicle with wires leading from the door to the gas tank.

But his plan backfired after frightened neighbors called the bomb squad - who evacuated four surrounding buildings before checking the vehicle. Though Scantlin was reprimanded by police, he was not charged with a crime. Read more here.
