Weiland pleads not guilty

Scott Weiland has pleaded not guilty to his charge of driving under the influence of drugs. As previously reported, the Velvet Revolver man was stopped on a California freeway in November and arrested after he showed "signs of impairment" and subsequently failed sobriety tests. Weiland, currently free on $40k bail, did not actually appear in court yesterday, his defence attorney entering the plea on his behalf, but he will presumably show up for the pre-trial hearing on 4 Apr.
