TMZ reports that Scott Weiland has been in jail for the last month, charged with burglary and felony possession of a controlled substance. The former Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver singer made the mistake of trying to shoplift razors from a Beverly Hills Rite Aid:
Weiland was fired then sued by his STP bandmates early last year. He’s been touring with his new band the Wildabouts since then and just last month told a Canadian reporter, “Those days of my dope abuse, and use, are long since by me.”
Those who are curious why Weiland hasn’t posted bail should refer to another Canadian interview from last month. In it he discusses how Velvet Revolver rejected his offer to reunite for “easy money” before enumerating how Slash, Duff McKagan, Matt Sorum, and Dave Kushner do not need the money as much as he does.

When a security guard tried stopping him, Scott breezed out, but not for long. Cops nabbed him down the block, searched him and found what they say was methamphetamine.
We’re also told Scott pulled the celeb card, telling cops, “I’m Scott Weiland from Stone Temple Pilots.”
It didn’t work. He’s been in jail the last 4 weeks on $95,000 bond.
BTW … as for why the charge was burglary instead of simple theft … cops say he entered with the intent of stealing, and their proof is that he carried an “insulated” bag which prevents censors from going off.
“I’m Scott Weiland from Stone Temple Pilots” is one of the worst things you can tell a cop.We’re also told Scott pulled the celeb card, telling cops, “I’m Scott Weiland from Stone Temple Pilots.”
