Wes Scantlin, the lead singer of the rock band Puddle of Mudd, was arrested in Torrance on felony charges of domestic violence and drug possession, as reported by KTLA and corroborated by TMZ.

The singer's latest run-in with the law occurred on March 11 when Torrance Police were dispatched to an apartment around 3 a.m following a distress call, Scantlin was arrested after officers noted marks on his girlfriend's arms and discovered a controlled substance on his person, and the Torrance City Jail confirmed his subsequent release on bail on Saturday. FOX LA notes that his bail had been set at $90,000, though the identity of the girlfriend and specifics about her condition are still under wraps due to an ongoing investigation.

Scantlin's arrest comes just months after a previous standoff with a SWAT team in Burbank that followed a traffic stop, indicating a pattern of brushes with the law that includes a history of legal issues stretching back years, with an in-flight disturbance arrest in 2012 later dropped; this rhythm of re-arrests and releases are hardly conducive to the artist's longevity inside or, for that matter, outside the music industry.

Details regarding the formal charges and forthcoming legal proceedings remain to be seen, even as the Torrance Police Department keeps the case close to the vest during the current ongoing investigation "We're told when officers arrived, they talked to Wes and his girlfriend and determined the couple got into a verbal argument that at one point, allegedly turned physical," TMZ reported, with the implication that further complicating the singer's predicament, potential substance abuse issues need to be addressed alongside the alleged aggression.
