Stone Temple Pilots and former Velvet Revolver frontman Scott Weiland has reportedly been released from prison just 10 hours into a 192 hour sentence, handed down last month for drink driving charges, according to TMZ.com.
The website reports: "Weiland turned himself in at 8:55am yesterday, was officially booked at just after noon, and then assigned a housing location at 6:41pm. But that wasn't quite necessary, since he was released just 13 minutes later".
As previously reported, Weiland was stopped on a California freeway last November and arrested after he showed "signs of impairment" and subsequently failed sobriety tests. Although he pleaded not guilty to the charges, the court took a different view, giving him a fine, prison sentence and ordering him to attend an 18 month alcohol program.
