Hollywood Life — Wes Scantlin, lead singer of the grunge band Puddle of Mudd has been arrested on gun charges at LAX.
He is currently being held on a $850,000 bail, according to the LA Sheriff’s Department. He was charged for boarding a plane with a BB gun.
There were two prior warrants out for him when he attempted to go through security which explains the hefty bail fee.
Unfortunately this isn’t Wes’ first run-in with law enforcement. He and then-fiancee Michelle Rubin were arrested in 2002 over allegations of domestic violence. The alleged altercation happened on the roadside on their way to a video shoot in Piru, CA, according to MTV.
Afterwards, the Ventura County DA decided not to pursue charges.
