Puddle Of Mud Frontman Arrested

Puddle Of Mudd frontman Wes Scantlin has been arrested for domestic violence after allegedly beating up his wife.

NME reports that police were called to a business in West Hollywood yesterday afternoon after he reportedly dragged his ex-wife and pulled her by the arm of her shirt.

Witnesses told police what they saw before police arrested the singer. A source claims that Scantlin was “extremely uncooperative” and that he was “very mouthy.”

Now the singer is in custody, and he’ll have to post $20,000 bail to get out.

It’s not the first or even second time that Scantlin has had a brush with the law. In July last year he pleaded guilty to cocaine possession, and in September he was arrested after an alleged drunken argument with a flight attendant, prompting an emergency landing. Reports at the time say the argument started because they wouldn’t serve him another drink.

The last release from Puddle of Mudd was a covers album titled “Re(disc)overed” in 2011, which includes songs originally by AC/DC, the Rolling Stones and more.
