Stoned Temple Pilot Flies the Coop

Remember when tiny-mouthed singer Scott Weiland was arrested for driving under the influence of a drug? Neither do we because it's not 1995. Anyway, he was handed a 192-hour sentence, and served a mere 10 hours before he was released. TMZ says:

Scott Weiland was released from jail at 6:54 PM last night after serving only 10 hours out of his 192-hour sentence. His rehab stints last longer!

Weiland turned himself in at 8:55 AM yesterday, was officially booked at just after noon, and then assigned a housing location at 6:41 PM. But that wasn't quite necessary, since he was released just 14 minutes later.

Cool, but that doesn't explain the black eye boogers in his booking photo. Maybe jail turned him into a Himalayan cat.

DUI-Type Thing

According to TMZ, Velvety Revolver Scott Weiland was arrested on November 21rst for "driving under the influence of a drug":

The Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver singer was driving on an L.A. highway around 6:15 PM on November 21 when he crashed his car. While the California Highway Patrol was investigating the non-injury wreck, they noticed Weiland appeared to be impaired. (Um … ya think?) According to the police report, Weiland failed sobriety tests and refused to take a blood or urine test. He was released on $40,000 bail and will be back in court on December 13.

However, Weiland's rep explains:

ìScott Weiland was recently involved in a minor accident in Los Angeles and denies he was driving under the influence. He voluntarily took a Breathalyzer test which the defense believes registers well within the legal limit. He is anxious to get to court on December 13 and clear this matter up.î

Hey, Scott, where you goin' with that eightball? Where you goin' with that flask you found? And I feel, and I feel when the cops begin to smell your breath, will they smell Patrooooon?

Where Ya Going to Tomorrow? Where Ya Going with that Hotel I Trashed?

We haven't heard tales of wild hotel-room trashings since it was fashionable for boys to have long hair and wear makeup (oh, wait), but, just like feather boas, Scott Weiland is bringing it back. TMZ reports:

Velvet Revolver frontman Scott Weiland and his wife trashed a Burbank hotel room during a rockstar-caliber rampage last weekend, and now the hotel is pressing charges against the Weilands for the damage they caused.

Sources tell TMZ that Weiland and his wife Mary ripped alarm clocks and phones from their sockets and threw them, made "dents and gauges" in the walls, and that there was even blood found on some of the linens afterward. (A picture taken at the scene shows a note attached to a trash bag that says, in Spanish, "with blood.")

The trouble started when Mary arrived at the hotel Saturday, whereupon the couple got into "a huge argument" witnessed by their two young children, who had to be taken away by Weiland's assistant. Weiland himself then left, leaving behind Mary, who could be heard throwing things in the room. The police were called, and the hotel is pressing charges for the damage caused. There's no word whether either Weiland or his wife were injured in the spat.

Weiland heard that Axl Rose always wrote "with blood" in Spanish in his hotel rooms.
