Overview
Puddle Of Mud singer Wes Scantlin has been almost entirely cleared of a string of public order offences, following an incident at a recent show in the US.
He stood accused of insulting the crowd, after admitting to the audience that he was too drunk to play and then ranting at the crowd for some 30 minutes. The show ended after just four songs.
Originally landed with charges of disorderly conduct intoxication, criminal mischief and misconduct involving a public transportation system, Scantlin pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of disorderly conduct last week and was ordered to pay $175 court costs.
Scantlin said he felt exonerated by the verdict, explaining: "I was innocent from the get-go, but, you know, they wanted to make an example out of something or someone, so they picked me, and, you know, there ya go, man.
“I got arrested for nothing, and it was publicized all over the freakin' planet Earth, and I really didn't do anything wrong to anybody, really. I said I was sorry probably 10 times."
