scott weiland arrested for a DUI

[Falcon]

With new tourdates being added and Aussie dates rescheduled, it seems as the VR camp/promotors are confident Weiland won't be doing any jail time in the near future.

All speculation on my part of course...

^Thanks, I'll look at more tomorrow when I have more time.

No problem!

Jarmo, Kiefer is a mess, I think that guy has been arrested more times than he can count.  He is famous for getting wasted in public and removing his pants.

Here are his arrests:

Kiefer plead guilty in 1989 and 1993 to reckless driving charges, and in 2004 to driving with a blood alcohol level above .08 -- the legal limit in California. It's the 2004 case for which Sutherland is currently on probation.

What is interesting is that Weilands bail was $40,000 while Kiefers for his last offense was $25,000.

ol scotty boy should join forces with steven adler.   they would do well together. 

[fuckin crazy]

A sidenote: Kiefer Sutherland was sentenced to 48 days in jail in connection with his September arrest for driving under the influence (30 days for a DUI-related charge, 18 days for probation violation). He was also sentenced to five years' probation and ordered to enroll in an 18-month alcohol education class and attend weekly AA sessions for six months. And pay a fine....

I was thinking about Scott's last DUI; he probably received a suspended sentence for his jail time, or at least a good portion of it. Typically, where I'm at, one receives 30 days suspended for 5 years for a first offence. 180 days for a second offence with 173 of those days suspended.

Depending on his disposition, he could be looking at some time in jail. Of course, it has been nearly 5 years, so that will mitigate the severity somewhat.

Anyone want to try and find out how the case was disposed?

Nearly eight months after his arrest for driving under the influence of drugs, Scott Weiland was sentenced Thursday in a Los Angeles court to three years' probation, during which he'll be treated for his drug problem.

Weiland had pleaded no contest to the misdemeanor charge earlier this week, which stemmed from his arrest on his 36th birthday, October 27th (see "Scott Weiland Involved In Car Crash; Arrested For DUI"). The Velvet Revolver singer's BMW struck a parked van, and as part of his sentencing, he was ordered to pay restitution to the owner of the parked vehicle, in addition to a $390 fine.

Under the terms of Weiland's latest probation, he'll be required to enroll in a six-month drug-treatment program and attend three Narcotics Anonymous meetings per week for the next three years. Weiland will also be required to submit to regular drug testing, as well as periodic drug testing at the discretion of the police (with or without probable cause), according to the city attorney's office. During this probation, Weiland is prohibited from being in the possession of, or under the influence of, both alcohol and drugs.

A week before this most recent arrest, Weiland had been congratulated for staying clean by a judge overseeing his probation from two felony charges of possession of heroin and cocaine. Upon hearing of the DUI arrest, that judge determined the latest charge was a violation of Weiland's probation and revoked the singer's freedom, ordering him into detox (see "Scott Weiland To Enter Rehab Immediately, By Order Of Judge"). The lockdown aspect of his rehab was later amended, and he will have completed the terms of his sober-living program under that probation by the end of this month, at which point he was scheduled to have six more months of after-care counseling and testing.

There's no word yet if Weiland's new probation will affect his current one, but the city attorney's office anticipates that they'll run concurrently. That matter will likely be decided at the singer's next probation status report hearing, scheduled for July 30.

Come on now. I think Scott is doing a little better than that.  At least he can complete a tour.  Steven could fuck up a steel ball.

[Crowebar]

I've never understood how these people with lots of money even bother to drive themselves around when they want to get high or otherwise. Take a limo you cheap fucking dumbasses like Axl fucking does. Not that hard to do is it? Or perhaps they can't afford a limo because of all the money they've wasted on drugs??

Weiland Returns to the Scene of the Crime?

Two days after TMZ uncovered his arrest for DUI last month, Scott Weiland went into hiding -- by hanging out at Hyde!

TMZ caught the Velvet Revolver frontman leaving the club last night, rambling some nonsense about his musical inspirations.

Scott, who denies he was under the influence when he crashed his car in November, will be in court on December 13.

While I hardly consider TMZ a legitimate "news" source, I would think the guy would lay low after the arrest.

Actually TMZ is very accurate. It's the only source i believe 100% of the time. The guy who runs it is a lawyer. So im pretty sure they wouldn't lie. And considering TMZ is used in many high profile cases..I believe them. Go to tmz there is a picture of scott outside of Hyde.

I'm not saying they would lie, but if you look at their content, and I have, it is mostly celebrity gossip.  A lot of pictures of celebrities and then user posts making fun of someone's appearance.  They run sensationalized stories without interviewing the subjects they are running stories about or presenting a truly balanced story.  Hence, I don't consider them a "news" source.

I consider them a Celebrity Gossip site and not a traditional or legit Entertainment Industry news source like Entertainment Weekly or The Hollywood Reporter.

Well in this case all they are saying is that Weiland was at Hyde last night, not must to dispute...they have the video.

Certainly, but they are also saying that he was rambling nonsense leaving a club after a DUI arrest a few weeks ago.  What kind of picture does that paint?  To me, that he may have been drunk or high again.  It at least raises a question that TMZ cannot answer.

Did you ever see the interview with Scott done at Live 8?

Besides, most of the VR songs are him rambling nonsense.

Nearly eight months after his arrest for driving under the influence of drugs ...

Thanks dude, I tried to get his disposition, but one has to apply in person, or by US Post. Since I live across the country, I didn't think it was worth the trouble.

I did find out though that Ca. keeps it on record for 7 years, not 5, so there will be no mitigating factors involved in his sentencing. Too, Ca. has a "per se" clause on the books. That could be why he decided against the test.

He has been through this before, so he know the ins and outs of the system. Refusing the test is the best option if one is going to mount a vigorous defense of the charges. Ca. has a "presumptive" clause also, so the penalties are enhanced if found guilty.

I found this on Lawrence Taylor's web site:

One difference between driving under the influence of alcohol and DUI drugs is that in the former case a second criminal offense is charged: the so-called "per se" offense of driving while having a blood-alcohol concentration of .08% or higher (Vehicle Code section 23152b). Where the offense is driving under the influence of drugs, however, the "per se" offense cannot be charged since there is no blood-alcohol level, or because it is lower than .08%. This also means that the suspect's driver's license cannot be administratively suspended by the DMV for driving under the influence of drugs, since this is only done where the blood-alcohol level is .08% or where the driver refused chemical testing. However, the license can be suspended as part of a criminal sentence.

for someone that seems to hate vr and always tries to belittle the members of that band, it seems strange that you would attend their shows. i like the pic, btw http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/boardgallery/displayimage.php?album=search&cat=0&pos=6

No, I didn't. ?I'd like to, though.

Point is, TMZ isn't just saying he was at Hyde, end of story. ?They added something to it, deliberately I think, to raise the question of whether or not he was wasted again.

And, I won't pretend that I can make complete sense of all the stuff Scott says in the songs

Ali

[LunsJail]

Did anybody actually watch the fucking video?  How is he rambling nonsense? It made sense to me and he doesn't even seem fucked up.

I thought that was a tiny bit weird myself. ^.^; but maybe he doesn't like them much anymore since then?

Is Steve Adler still on drugs or something? I thought he sobered up..
