Wes From Puddle Of Mudd Was Involved In a Police Standoff With 30 Cops

Alt Press – Things really haven’t been going too hot for Puddle Of Mudd frontman Wes Scantlin. The singer was arrested four times in 2015 and, over the past couple months, has thrown bizarre fits onstage during shows.  On Saturday night, things escalated as Scantlin was involved in a large police standoff. TMZ reports that police were informed of a burglary taking place in a car in Scantlin’s driveway. When they arrived, Scantlin ran into his house and refused to come out, despite police orders. The officers called backup, and ended up with 30 officers with rifles out in front of the home. Police eventually broke the door down, and Scantlin was arrested on a previous warrant. The supposed “burglary” was reportedly just Scantlin and friends trying to jumpstart a car. 

You know what? I’m going to give Wes the benefit of the doubt here. Can’t a man jumpstart a car in his driveway without 30 cops with rifles showing up at his house? I mean sure, quite literally everything Wes does involves criminal activity, and sure, he should have just come out of the house when the police asked him to without causing a big commotion about it, but maybe he’s changed? Maybe he just wants to live a nice quiet, happy life in his house without any problems?

Actually, none of what I just said above is true because we don’t live in LaLa Land where unicorns shit gumdrops. There’s about a 1000% chance Wes was doing some shady ass activity while high on crack-cocaine with a BAC higher than most peoples GPA. This guy legit can’t stay out of the news or out of handcuffs for more than a week at a time. The good news I suppose is he didn’t drive drunk or beat up a woman in this case, so in his world, that actually is quite an improvement. Let’s see if this is the final straw for him, but we all know it won’t be. He’ll be back in the news before we know it. Death pool stock has never been higher.
