scott weiland arrested for a DUI

[jarmo]

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

Yeah, I saw them live. Went to see what the fuss is about.   


I like going to concerts. Especially when it's coupled with travel, seeing new places and meeting friends.

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.

Well I guess if anything it answers the question if he went into rehab or not.

You lucky bastard, you.

[Smoking Guns]

Scott seemed very fine and aware in that TMZ clip anyway.      Sounds good to me!

[Crowebar]

How about we leave the guy alone and try to not be so judgemental...   


He's only human, just like the rest of us.

[JimBobTTD]

He's only human, just like the rest of us.

Speak for yourself, mate!


But I agree. Innocent until proven guilty, and all that...

[FunkyMonkey]

His rep has said "He is anxious to get to court on December 13 and clear this matter up."

Does anyone know what type of appearance this is in court on the 13th?

[fuckin crazy]

It is an arraignment. It is just a formal reading of the charge, then comes the preliminary, then ...

[Bandita]

I don't think he will be able to "clear" anything up on that court date besides entering a plea which I assume will be not guilty.

Revolver Oz tour

Updated: 10:47, Sunday December 9, 2007

Velvet Revolver are promising fans they will tour Australia in february after they suddenly postponed this week's concert.

The bands frontman Scott Weiland was busted for DUI, however the singer's manager says he will contest the charge in a Los Angeles court.

Band member Duff Mckagan says the tour was also cancelled because two members have fallen ill, 'exhaustion has a lot to do with it'.

'That is the first time I have ever had to postpone a tour in my whole career so I'm really glad we have been able to get these new gigs organised,' says McKagan.

Velvet Revolver's Australian promoter has not yet confirmed the rescheduled dates for the bands concerts.

[Verse Chorus Verse]

He seems absolutely fine in the video.

I like this board for the news it gives me 'round VR and GnR, but all this mumbling over this video (that by the way shows a sober looking guy just politely answering some questions) and other stuff is just the same needles and pointles negative speculation thats been going on forever here....

It will be 6 months, or better, before the case is argued. At his arraignment, his attorney will probably just enter a plea, and move the case to the jury docket(best to let the Prosecutor know your not fucking around).

[FunkyMonkey]

^^Looks like he plead No Contest to his last DUI in which the circumstances seem similar (although it looks like he took the tests that time).  Would that make a difference?

[fuckin crazy]

Yes it would. California has a "presumptive" clause on the books. His refusal of a chem test can be used as evidence that he was conscience of his guilt.

Prosecutor to Scott Weiland: You Were Hopped Up!

Posted Dec 12th 2007 4:54PM by TMZ Staff

Scott Weiland has been charged with driving under the influence of drugs with a prior conviction, and with an allegation that he refused a chemical test as required by law.

In a statement from Los Angeles City Attorney spokesperson Frank Mateljan, Scott faces "maximum penalty of one year county jail and a $1000 fine, and a minimum penalty eight days in jail (because of the prior conviction and the refusal to take a drug test). His car could also be impounded for up to 30 days. "

He will be arraigned tomorrow in a Los Angeles County court.

On November 21, the Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver singer was arrested, when he crashed his car while driving on an L.A. highway.

He is going to serve some time for sure.  Probably not much, but some.

hopefully.  maybe next time he gets fucked up and wants to drive, he will think twice.

[FunkyMonkey]

A rep for Velvet Revolver tells TMZ that the band's show tonight at L.A.'s Gibson Amphitheater is still going on as scheduled.

[LunsJail]

Where does a prosecutor ever say he was "hopped up"?  TMZ's phony headlines are so fucking stupid.
