Patrick Stump arrested in Hollywood

Alternative Press - Tim Karan on 8/26/09 @ 2:01 PM - altpress.com

Fall Out Boy frontman Patrick Stump was arrested Tuesday night in Hollywood on a traffic warrant stemming from a driving without a license charge. Stump was detained in a West Hollywood sheriff's station and held on $15,000 bail before being released at 4:30 a.m. Wednesday morning. Stump had this to say about the arrest:

"All I really have to say is ignorance of the law isn't innocence. I didn't want to give up my Illinois driver's license and was unaware that was a crime. It is, by the way, in the state of California. Lesson learned. I technically broke a law, so technically I deserve whatever I get. But man, is my mom gonna be pissed."

If Stump is convicted, he could be looking at upwards of six months in jail and/or $1,000 in fines.
