SCOTT WEILAND Pleads No Contest To DUI

July 3, 2004

VELVET REVOLVER lead singer Scott Weiland pleaded no contest Friday (July 2) to a misdemeanor count of driving under the influence, according to the Associated Press.

His sentencing was set for July 8.

The 36-year-old singer was ordered in January to return to a live-in drug detoxification center after he left earlier than he was authorized to.

Weiland has had several drug-related arrests, and was jailed in 1999 for violating probation on a previous drug arrest and failing to complete a rehabilitation program.

Weiland was formerly the lead singer for STONE TEMPLE PILOTS, a Grammy-winning band that had five Billboard Top 10 albums from 1992 to 2001.

He now fronts VELVET REVOLVER, with former members of the hard rock supergroup GUNS N' ROSES.

VELVET REVOLVER's first album debuted at No. 1 last month on the Billboard sales charts.
