Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland was sentenced to 192 hours of jail time for his November 21 arrest by the California Highway Patrol for driving under the influence. The ex-Velvet Revolver vocalist was not present in court on Monday when his attorney entered a no contest plea.With STP's touring commitments slated to begin on May 17 and Weiland's May 28 deadline to serve the eight days, the singer -- who told Howard Stern's radio audience last week that he was in Chicago working on his first solo album in ten years with No Doubt drummer Adrian Young and producer Steve Albini -- will need to fit the jail time in during the next three weeks.
Weiland was also ordered to complete an 18-month alcohol program and pay almost $2,000 in fines. He will be put on a four-year summary probation. Weiland was charged with one misdemeanor count of driving under the influence of alcohol with a prior conviction after failing field sobriety tests, and refusing to take a blood or urine test as required by California law. He was reportedly just over the legal limit of .08%.
