Scott Weiland was arrested for driving under the influence after he crashed his car in Los Angeles on November 21. There were no injuries from the accident, but according to TMZ, the former Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver frontman was taken into custody after an officer said he showed "signs of impairment" and failed sobriety tests.

The police report stated that 40-year-old Weiland refused to take a blood or urine test at the Van Nuys Jail, where he was booked and released on $40,000 bail. He is scheduled to appear in court on December 13.

"Scott was not driving under the influence of a drug, legal or illegal," Weiland's publicist Kristine Ashton-Magnuson said in a statement. "He voluntarily took a breathalyzer test which the defense believes registers well within the legal limit. He is anxious to get to court ... and clear this matter up."
