TORRANCE, Calif. – Puddle of Mudd’s lead singer, Wesley Scantlin, has found himself in a puddle of trouble.
He was taken into custody after Torrance Police responded to a home in the area.
What we know:
On Tuesday, March 11, officers were called to a home in Torrance.
A short time later, Scantlin was arrested by Torrance PD officers following an incident involving allegations of domestic violence and drug possession.
He reportedly got into a physical fight with his girlfriend.
The rocker was booked into the Torrance City Jail. His bail was set at $90,000.
