Rocker Scott Weiland, the lead singer for Stone Temple Pilots, has been charged with cocaine and heroin possession in Los Angeles, two years after completing a jail term for violating his probation on the same charges, prosecutors say.


Weiland, 35, and Jennifer Lynn Sires, 29, were stopped by Burbank police shortly before midnight on Saturday after officers saw them driving without lights in a shuttered retail district.


They were arrested after police noticed a syringe in the car, and a search of the vehicle yielded cocaine and heroin, a police spokesman said.


Weiland was released from jail on Sunday after posting $25,000 bail (15,230 pounds). He was scheduled to be arraigned on June 2.


Sires, who faces a heroin possession charge, was scheduled to be arraigned later on Tuesday.


Stone Temple Pilots has been on hiatus since cutting its 2001 album, "Shangri-La Dee Da," and its members were reportedly pursuing individual projects.

Well, I think I speak for most people when I say that shock and surprise are not on anybody's list of reactions.

Maybe somebody needs to sit Scott down and force him to watch VH1's Behind the Music episodes on Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Shannon Hoon, Keith Moon, Bradley Nowell and Hillel Slovak among others. Because he is headed for the same end as the great musicians on this list.

Shannon was the lead singer to Blind Melon, he OD'ed.

Well we know that Scott has been "making music" with Slash, Duff, and the rest of the GNR guys....wonder how crazy those nights were.

I'm not shocked or surprised by this, but it is sad. Weiland's gonna end up like Staley.

He needs to decide he's done with it. Obviously he hasn't.

Oh, and Burbank police? He's fucked.

Burbank police are notorious assholes. And sticklers. If they've nailed you, you're fucked.

Sometimes I think Scott Weiland and Robert Downey Jr. are the same person.

LOL, I bet those guys and their 80`s - rockin` ways got Weiland (remember when that was his whole name?) back into the drugs!

If I had tons o'cash, I`d probably get some coke and herion too. And, Lord knows, whores.
