Stone Temple Pilots Singer Scott Weiland Pleads No Contest to Drunk Driving Charge

After pleading no contest to a misdemeanor drunken driving charge, Scott Weiland was sentenced to eight days in jail, four year’s probation and an 18-month alcohol program.

 

Weiland, recently reunited with the rock group Stone Temple Pilots, was arrested last November on a San Fernando Valley freeway off-ramp.
