In a somewhat shocking move, Stone Temple Pilots/ ex-Velvet Revolver singer Scott Weiland has been released from prison after serving a mere thirteen minutes in jail!
Apparantly he turned himself in to the authorities at 8:55 in the morning and was officially booked not long after noon. He was then assigned a housing location at 6:41 but was released at 6:54.
Scott Weiland was wanted by the authorities on an outstanding DUI charge from November. He was scheduled to serve eight days in jail.
Scott Weiland will be touring with Stone Temple Pilots this summer and is also recording a new, double disc solo album.

Either way I think we can safely say Scott may very well be on borrowed time.Sad but true.He should be locked up for his own good.I just wonder how he did it.Did his record label pull some string's?Did his lawyer get him off with a loop hole?Did somebody get paide?Because if he O/D's it's the fault of the a$$hole That got him out of his punishment.
At least he turned himself in. Other than that, gotta agree with everyone above me. Except maybe Kali, I don't know that there is a 'system' so to speak, and if there is, I don't see why it would waste its attention on people like Scott f***ing Weiland. And Blackdog, I'd say the fault would remain Weilands. You can take a horse anywhere the f*** you want, but if it's gonna drink, it's gonna drink, you know?
To true psyth.But I say that because even though he's a celebrity who got special treatment.When clearly he should not have.If it was me or you with the drug problem.They'd of jailed us and while in jail given us treatment while we were there.Because the law requires it.Then on the other hand like you saide to make a long story short.If he does not truly want help then all the help in the world is useless.
Yeah, I agree, it's bullsh** that they can just call in and get out of there. A person's a person, and a crime's a crime. You do the crime, you do the time, I don't care if you're Oprah or some homeless bum, man. The only reason he should be allowed back out is if he was allowed to pay bail and he did. That's ok by me, as long as everyone gets that same treatment.

That's American justice for you! Movie and Rock stars don't get any special treatment. :-)
