Puddle of Mudd singer Wes Scantlin has a well documented history of issues related to substance abuse and the subsequent legal troubles he has faced.
Puddle of Mudd concerts in recent years have often consisted of a much shorter setlist due to the singer’s sometimes erratic behavior on stage. He’s been arrested in the past for trying to board a plane with a BB gun, cocaine possession, driving under the influence, for taking a joyride on a baggage carousel, disorderly conduct, and leading police on a high speed chase, among other things.
Radar Online has now reported that Scantlin was taken into custody by Los Angles police after allegedly showing up to an old home he lost to foreclosure. Scantlin was arrested earlier this week in Hollywood and taken to jail on a misdemeanor trespassing charge.
The woman who now occupies the house posted a photo on TikTok showing a man believed to be the Puddle of Mudd singer parked in her driveway in a Hummer.
She wrote: “When you walk down your driveway to catch an Uber and find a stranger camped outside and then realize it’s a famous rock singer who had his house foreclosed on (and has been arrested several times before) and was coming back to claim the house so you have to call the police because he begins to threaten the maid you hired and then he gets arrested because turns out he has an active order against him.”
Back in January of 2020, Puddle of Mudd performed a cover of Nirvana’s “About A Girl” during a Sirius XM session, and it went viral for all the wrong reasons.
Scantlin clearly struggled with the song, and he commented on it in a recent interview with “Songfacts.” The singer admitted that it “looked and sounded like total sh*t.”
“Oh, yeah,” said Scantlin. “You know what? I was acclimating and it was a tiring day, and I had already performed five or six songs at one time, and by the time I got to that one — which I shouldn’t even have done because I cannot nail that song — I was a little tired. It looked and sounded like total sh*t. But live to fight another day, dude.”
