Setting the Record Straight on Velvet Revolver's Scott Weiland By Sefany Jones, Contributing Editor Monday, July 12, 2004 @ 12:22 AM
SCOTT WEILAND’S REPRESENTATIVES OFFER CLARIFICATION FOLLOWING HIS JULY 8 COURT APPEARANCE
As Velvet Revolver get ready for another round of tour dates, including a European concert trek launching in August, Scott Weiland’s representatives are offering clarification of his court appearance July 8th in Los Angeles. Now clean and sober for over eight months--and recently reunited at home with his wife and children--Scott paid a $390 fine for allegedly driving under the influence of prescriptive drugs (DUI) last year (October 27, 2003). “There were no illegal drugs or alcohol in Scott’s system,” says his attorney Anthony Brooklier. “He was taking medication prescribed by his physician.” Scott has also paid restitution to the owner of the parked van, which was damaged in the accident.
Scott, as part of his three years probation, will complete a six-month aftercare program that runs concurrent with his Proposition 36 program, which includes the two group therapy meetings and two personal therapy sessions per month that he’s already been participating in.
Through all of this, the judge has congratulated Scott on continuing to embrace sobriety, complying with his program and for reestablishing a relationship with his children.
"Now that this is all behind me, I will be able to set the record straight," says Scott. Look for Scott's postings on the velvetrevolver.com website.
