Puddle Of Mudd Lead Singer Arrested At DIA After Alleged Joy Ride On Baggage Carousel
DENVER (CBS4) - A joy ride on a baggage carousel at Denver International Airport has landed the lead singer of the rock band Puddle Of Mudd in trouble.
According to police, Wes Scantlin was arrested last Friday after he allegedly climbed onto the over-sized baggage carousel and rode it into a secure area.
The band was in town for a concert at Casselman's Bar and Venue in Denver.
Scantlin is under investigation for trespassing and charges are pending.
The band's promoter complained about the arrest on Facebook and announced to fans the show would begin late because of his arrest.
"So if you haven't heard yet Wes the lead signer from Puddle Of Mudd decided to take a joy ride on the carousel at the airport this morning thru restricted access and got arrested," the Facebook post said. "We have been on this all day and he is just about to be release(d) from Jail and will head straight to the venue. The show will go on but that is why we are running late."
HeyReverb.com reported that Scantlin was bailed out by a fan.
