Scott Weiland Clean and Sober
Okay, maybe not, but he has managed to avoid jail time --
NEW YORK (Billboard) -- Stone Temple Pilots/Velvet Revolver frontman Scott Weiland has been sentenced to three years probation in Pasadena, California, following a May arrest on two felony drug possession charges.
He will be required to continue counseling and rehab sessions, as well as submit to random drug testing. His sentence was handed down on Thursday.
Weiland, 35, was arrested during a routine traffic stop on May 17 in Burbank, California, after police allegedly spotted drug paraphernalia inside the car. He and the driver of the car, 29-year-old Jennifer Lynn Sires, were later charged with cocaine and heroin possession.
Similar drug charges sent Weiland to prison in 1999, after he repeatedly violated his probation and failed to complete a rehab program. "Scott is doing very well, thanks everybody for their support and is looking forward to making the Velvet Revolver album to be released early next year," according the artist's publicist.
