scott weiland arrested for a DUI

[erose]

isn't his three years of probation over tho? If he was sentenced in july 04 i mean?

[AdZ]

maybe that's what the cancellations of the shows were all about.

You think?

yeah I think so, but it still doesn't look to good in court...especially with his history of drug use and such.

You think? 

It's a long shot but I'll take my chances

DUI is fucking serious..

its very fucking serious.  and its also very fucking stupid.   he's lucky he didn't hurt or kill anyone, let alone himself.   I think it should be mandatory jail time.

[Butch Français]

he should get his ass straight and get back on the road with the guys.
I can sense the rest of the band are really hating this because they love touring, and at the same time are trying to help the fella.

what does DUI stand for?

driving under the influence

[Robman?]

I think it was drugs rather than alcohol.

40,000 for bail?

DUI is fucking serious..

its very fucking serious.? and its also very fucking stupid.? ?he's lucky he didn't hurt or kill anyone, let alone himself.? ?I think it should be mandatory jail time.

yes, to me DUI is among the "worst" crimes.. to me it's a lot worse then selling dope, drug possesion, prostitution.. because while commiting DUI, you're not only putting yourself in great danger but others totally innocent people just walking the streets

I have pretty much no respect at all for Scott now

40,000 for bail?

Yeah, 40,000 bond is excessive for a DUI. Too, rehab could be the medical problem. That would explain a lot. It is always best to enter rehab before a court appearance on a drug charge.

DUI in the States has only been aggressively enforced for about 20 years. Old habits die hard.

I wonder if he's TRYING to kill himself?

You'd think he'd be a little smarter about these kinds of things... (DUI)

Regarding rehab, I was thinking the same thing.  That seems to be what a lot of celebs are doing prior to court.  He is back in court the 13th of Dec., they have a show on Dec. 12th.

Also, they just put up on their website:

Meet and Greets for December 29th Available Now!

When you're under the influence of either drugs or alcohol your own wellbeing (or others for that matter, seeing as he was the one driving) isn't exactly number one on your list of priorities. as for being a little smarter about DUI, well, Mr Weiland has a bit of a history of driving while under influence, so no can't say i'm particularly surprised that he isnt' all that smart about it.

True, but considering how many times he's done that, it makes me think he's trying to get in trouble/kill himself or SOMETHING... :/

nah, I don't think so. to me it seems like the 'out of control' type of behaviour that someone who's completely out of it has.
I remember hearing an interview with Dave navarro a while back where he said that he and Scott would do heroin at Dave's house all the time, but eventually Scott would pretty much always end up driving off in his Mercedes (and get caught by the police). Dave was like 'where are you going dude, the heroin's right here!' 
There are drunk chicks who like to show their boobs when they're drunk, maybe driving while under the influence is Scott's thing.

From MTV

The singer was arrested for driving under the influence of a drug and then taken to the LAPD jail in Van Nuys, California, where he allegedly refused to take a blood or urine test. He was later released on $40,000 bail, an amount that is much higher than the typical misdemeanor bail in such a case, likely due to the singer's prior arrests.

[guns_n_motley]

wonder what "drug" it was according to mtv

[jarmo]

It's from the police report I think.

They couldn't say since he refused to let them take a blood or urine test.

Where the accused refuses to take a blood, breath or urine test, this refusal can be used as evidence that the accused was conscious of their guilt. The DMV will also use this refusal to suspend or revoke the suspect?s driver?s license and the refusal can also be used to enhance the punishment in criminal court in the event of a conviction.

he probably refused because it was possibly more than alcohol.....I would suspect..
