Rocker Scott Weiland Headed To Jail Over DUI Charge
April 29, 2008
ORIGINAL ARTICLE: April 29, 2008
Scott Weiland has pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor drunken driving charge and was sentenced to eight days in jail.
The 40-year-old rocker entered the plea through his attorney in Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday. He also was sentenced to four years’ probation and must take part in an 18-month alcohol program.
Weiland came to fame as the lead singer of 1990s Stone Temple Pilots, who regrouped after Weiland split this month from Velvet Revolver, a band also featuring former members of Guns N’ Roses.
Stone Temple Pilots are scheduled to embark on a 65-city tour May 17. Weiland must serve his jail time by May 28.
Weiland was arrested Nov. 21 on a San Fernando Valley freeway off-ramp.
It was the second DUI conviction for Weiland, who has been dogged by substance problems throughout his career.
