Washed Up Rock Star Arrested At Denver Airport For Riding on Baggage Carousel

Remember Puddle of Mudd?  They had a triple platinum debut album and a string of rock radio hits in the early 2000's.  Lately, their singer Wes Scantlin has fallen from grace with a series of arrests for drug possession, public drunkeness, vandalism and disorderly conduct.  His bizarre behavior continued last weekend when he was arrested for taking a joy ride on the baggage carousel at Denver International Airport.

Authorities say Scantlin ignored clearly posted signs that read "Keep Out" and "Do Not Ride on the Carousel".  The singer spend most of last Friday in jail, before being bailed out by a fan and rushed to the venue for the band's show that night.

Sadly, this isn't the first time Scantlin has been bailed out of jail by a fan...or arrested at an airport.  His rap sheet is long and colorful.  In 2002, Scantlin and his former fiance were arrested for fighting on the side of a California highway.  In 2004, he was arrested for assaulting several fans during a concert in Toledo, Ohio, after the rest of the band had walked off the stage in the middle of a drunken performance.

In 2007, Scantlin was banned from Graceland after he breached security and took a swim in Elvis Presley's pool.  Then in 2012, he was charged with public intoxication after his belligerent behavior forced a cross country flight to make an emergency landing in Texas.  Shortly after that incident, he was charged with vandalism after destroying his neighbor's patio with a sledgehammer and a chainsaw.

After his latest run in with the law, the Denver based concert promoter Rock Panther Presents has vowed to never book the band again.
