Weiland Sentenced for DUI
At this point, Scott Weiland has been in and out of rehab so many times, that it must seem like a home away from home.
But for once, the oft-troubled rocker received some good news. Weiland, who has reportedly been clean and sober for eight months now, was sentenced Thursday to six months in an aftercare program stemming from his post-birthday arrest in October for driving under the influence.
"He's reunited at home with his kids and wife," says publicist Mitch Schneider. "He will continue to attend meetings."
Per a release from his rep, Weiland's aftercare program includes two group therapy meetings and two personal therapy sessions.
In addition to the aftercare, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Randolph Moore also slapped Weiland with three years' probation and a $390 fine plus penalties and ordered him to pay restitution to the owner of the parked vehicle he plowed into.
The former frontman for Stone Temple Pilots pleaded no contest last week to the misdemeanor DUI charge.
"There were no illegal drugs or alcohol in Scott's system," his attorney Anthony Brooklier said in a statement. "He was taking medication prescribed by his physician."
Brooklier also said Weiland has already paid up to the van's owner.
Weiland was arrested Oct. 27, his 36th birthday, after smashing his BMW into a parked van in Hollywood. According to police, he tried to flee the scene, but was eventually collared and charged with driving under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol.
According to the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office, Weiland will also have to undergo mandatory drug testing as part of his probation.
Schneider said the sentence does not interfere with upcoming touring plans for Weiland's new band, Velvet Revolver.
"It's business as usual," said Schneider.
Revolver is slated to embark on a five-week European trek in August followed by two shows at New York's Roseland Ballroom Sept. 17 and 18 as part of Miller Beer's "Rock Through Time" event.
The band, which also includes ex-Guns N' Roses members Slash, Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum, along with Suicidal Tendencies guitarist Dave Kushner, just completed its first major tour last month. Revolver's well reviewed rookie album, Contraband, also released in June, debuted on top of Billboard's album chart.
Weiland has racked up several drug-related arrests over the past decade, usually resulting in stints in detox facilities or jail. Most recently, Weiland was ordered back to rehab in January when a judge determined the rocker didn't successfully complete his required term following a May 2003 arrest.
Facing the threat of jail time if he relapsed, Weiland managed to pull it together and, in April, was given the all clear to hit the road with his new mates.
