Weiland charged over DUI claims

Velvet Revolver frontman Scott Weiland has been formally charged over those previously reported DUI charges. The rocker is accused of driving under the influence of drugs after being involved in a car crash last month. He seemingly refused to take a blood or urine test after the crash, which hasn't helped his case, though he continues to maintain he is innocent of the charges. He is now on a $40,000 bail, and could face up to a year in jail if found guilty when the case goes to court, though he could get away with a week in jail and a fine. Confirming charges had been formally pressed, Weiland's publicist said yesterday: "Scott is looking forward to having this matter cleared up in court tomorrow".
