Puddle of Mudd frontman Wes Scantlin has been arrested on domestic violence charges after allegedly beating his ex-wife. The rocker was picked up May 13 at a business in West Hollywood, where Scantlin was reportedly seen dragging the woman through a parking lot.
Police picked up Scantlin on the scene and he was said to be combative with the arresting officers. One witness on the scene told TMZ that "he was very mouthy."
Scantlin is currently in custody and being held on $20,000 bail.
This is just the most recent brush with the law for Scantlin, who was initially busted for cocaine possession in 2012 and then again after getting into an argument with an airline crew on a flight. The plane was forced to make an emergency landing in Austin, Texas, where Scantlin was arrested for public intoxication.
