Puddle Of Mudd singer arrested after drunken, 100 mph police chase

July 30, 2015

Puddle Of Mudd singer Wes Scantlin was arrested this past weekend after leading a high-speed police chase through Bird Island, Minnesota. According to various reports, the pursuit reached speeds of 100 mph before Scantlin was ultimately arrested and charged with both a DWI and fleeing a police officer. He blew a .310 on a breathalyzer test, which is nearly four times over the legal limit.

This isn’t the first time Wes has had troubles with the law. Just earlier this year he was arrested for riding an airport baggage carousel. In 2013, he was placed in custody for having a buzz saw and sledgehammer rampage on his neighbor’s property.

A day after his most recent arrest, he tweeted the following from Puddle Of Mudd's official Twitter account:

Thanks to all my true fans, the shows scheduled will all be played . I look forward to rocking your face off . I'm ok . #godbless
