Puddle of Mudd lead vocalist Wes Scantlin was captured after supposedly opposing capture during a traffic stop.
On Wednesday (July 31), the 52-year-old rocker was pulled over for a criminal traffic offense by police in Burbank, Calif. During the stop, authorities found Scantlin had an extraordinary warrant from a past wrongdoing for purportedly having a weapon at an air terminal, as indicated by TMZ.
The “Hazy” vocalist supposedly would not get out of his Hummer H2 after a few solicitations from policing, them to bring in a “emergency mediator.” After Scantlin kept on opposing, he was purportedly pepper-showered by officials.
At the point when the pepper shower actually didn’t tempt the performer to leave his vehicle, Smack individuals were sent at around 4 a.m. to break his vehicle window and shoot “non-deadly” pepper balls to inspire him to give up, TMZ reports.
The “Stoned” vocalist was then supposedly taken to a medical clinic to flush out his eyes. He was eventually captured for his remarkable warrant and the new charge of opposing capture. His trial is planned for Aug. 20.
In 2017, Scantlin was captured for supposedly endeavoring to bring a BB firearm on a plane at Remiss Air terminal while getting onto a trip to Texas.
Scantlin has had various other spats with the law throughout the long term. The performer was captured in 2012 for a quarrel with an airline steward. That time, he was accused of public inebriation. After three years was busted for his second DUI in a month. During that capture, he was likewise accused of ownership of maryjane. In 2016, he was accused of crime defacing in the wake of being captured at a home he lost in dispossession.
