Puddle of Mudd frontman Wes Scantlin has been taken into custody on domestic violence charges.
At approximately 3a on Wednesday morning (3.12) following reports of an alleged domestic dispute, the police were called to an apartment in Torrance, California. When officers arrived at the scene they spoke to Scantlin and his girlfriend and determined the couple were involved into a verbal argument that allegedly turned physical.
After the authorities reportedly noticed marks on the woman’s arms, Scantlin was arrested, and during a search of his person, police supposedly found a small amount of a controlled substance.
Scantlin has since been charged with felony domestic violence and possession of a controlled substance, and according to online magazine Consequence Sound, the musician remains in a Los Angeles county jail with bail set at $90,000.00
Not the first time the American rock band’s lead singer has had a brush with the law, in 2024 Scantlin was reportedly arrested and pepper sprayed following a police stand-off, and he was previously arrested in 2017 for allegedly attempting to board a plane with a gun. In 2016 the artist pleaded not guilty to a felony vandalism charge after being arrested at the Hollywood home he lost in foreclosure.
