Scott Weiland Denies Driving Under The Influence Of A Drug

December 5

According to The Associated Press, Scott Weiland's publicist denies the singer was driving under the influence when he crashed his car on a California highway on November 21.

A police report obtained by the celebrity Web site TMZ.com says the VELVET REVOLVER singer was arrested after an officer noticed he showed "signs of impairment" and failed field sobriety tests.

According to the police report, Weiland was taken to the Van Nuys Jail where he refused to take a blood or urine test. He was booked and released on $40,000 bail.

Weiland's publicist says the singer was involved in a "minor accident," but denies he was impaired at the time of the crash.

"Scott was not driving under the influence of a drug, legal or illegal," Kristine Ashton-Magnuson said. "He voluntarily took a breathalyzer test which the defense believes registers well within the legal limit. He is anxious to get to court ... and clear this matter up."
