SCOTT WEILAND Ordered Into Drug Rehab

July 8, 2004

VELVET REVOLVER singer Scott Weiland (ex-STONE TEMPLE PILOTS) has been sentenced to a six-month stint in a drug program after pleading no contest to driving under the influence in Los Angeles, according to Reuters. In addition, Weiland was placed on probation and ordered to repay the owner of a parked vehicle he rammed shortly before his October arrest on the misdemeanor DUI charge.

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, according to MTV.com. 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.

Weiland, 36, previously was placed in a live-in detoxification program after an earlier arrest in May 2003 for heroin possession. In 1999, he served jail time for repeatedly violating his probation on drug charges and for failing to complete drug rehabilitation stints.
