Puddle of Mudd’s Wes Scantlin was arrested this week for felony domestic violence after allegedly getting into a physical altercation with his girlfriend.
TMZ reports that police were called to a Torrance, California apartment around 3:00 a.m. local time on Tuesday, March 11th. Upon their arrival, officers discovered visible marks on the woman’s arms, leading to Scantlin’s arrest. Additionally, the 52-year-old musician was found in possession of a small amount of a controlled substance.
Scantlin was ultimately charged with felony domestic violence and possession of a controlled substance. As of Saturday morning, he remains in a Los Angeles County Jail with bail set at $90,000.
In August 2024, Scantlin was pepper-balled by members of a SWAT team after refusing to exit his vehicle during a track stop. Earlier this month, he blamed a messy charity performance in Florida as the result of being roofied by an ex-bandmate.
