PASADENA: Scott Weiland, lead singer for the rock group Stone Temple Pilots, was arrested on drug-related charges at 12:30 a.m. Sunday in the alley behind the Pasada Motel in the 3600 block of East Colorado Boulevard. Weiland, 27, was charged with possession of cocaine, heroin and drug paraphernalia and driving under the influence of a controlled substance, police said. Sheriff’s deputies said they were making a routine check in an unincorporated county area of east Pasadena when Weiland drove his Lexus into the parking lot and made what deputies believed to be a drug transaction with another man. Weiland then drove away with his headlights off, the deputies said. The other suspect, who was on foot, got away. Weiland spent Sunday night at the Temple sheriff’s station. He was released Monday morning after posting $10,000 bail.
