Weiland's Rehab Redux
News flash: Scott Weiland is going back to rehab...again.
The oft-arrested rocker has been ordered back into a California live-in detox facility after the court found out he skipped out of treatment early.
He pleaded no contest to heroin possession in August and was ordered to check into a residential rehab facility, followed by a six-month residential program.
On Friday, however, prosecutors discovered he checked out early (either on his own or by his doctors--the specifics are not entirely clear) last October, thus violating the terms of his deal. A Los Angeles Superior Court judge quickly sent him back.
The 36-year-old Stone Temple Pilots frontman checked back in to the rehab center Sunday afternoon, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office. He's eligible for release in July but will also have to enroll in another six months of aftercare upon his release.
District Attorney spokesman Jane Robison says that if Weiland skips out early again or tests positive for drugs, the office will issue a warrant for his arrest.
In an unrelated, yet eerily similar case, Weiland has pleaded not guilty to a DUI charge stemming from an arrest in October. He is scheduled to stand trial Feb. 5.
No word on what effect his current incarceration in rehab will have on that trial. But it's just the latest in an ongoing string of drug- and alcohol-related arrests.
He was picked up for cocaine and heroin possession in 1995, an arrest that eventually let to his ejection from STP (he later was allowed to rejoin the band, which is currently on an extended, possibly permanent, hiatus). In 1998, he was arrested for trying to score heroin from an undercover cop. He was thrown into the slammer in 1999 after almost OD'ing on heroin, violating his probation and not completing the ordered rehab.
Weiland's court-ordered trip to rehab could wreak havoc with his latest musical project. He has been fronting the band Velvet Revolver, which features ex-Guns N' Roses members Slash, Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum, along with Suicidal Tendencies guitarist Dave Kushner. The band has completed several tracks for its first album, Contraband.
According to one fan site, Velvet Revolver was going to launch a six-week promotional tour in early March to hype RCA Records' May 11 release of Contraband. While RCA never confirmed the promo trek, the label and band were working on a world tour for later this year. With Weiland in detox through July, those plans will likely be changed.
RCA was not immediate reachable for comment Monday on Weiland's latest legal battles.
