Wes Scantlin from Puddle Of Mudd Arrested With .31 Blood Alcohol Content in Minnesota Sunday

No, this is not an old story, it's actually from today! Puddle of Mudd mainman Wes Scantlin was arrested on Sunday morning for refusing a DWI test and fleeing from a police officer. (Quick tip: if you flee, he knows you're guilty of something. I thought that would be obvious.)

Mr. Scantlin can't make it to the airport to play in Flint, but he can totally lead sheriffs on a 100-mile-per-hour chase through Renville, Minnesota on a Sunday morning!

When he finally pulled over, he 'smelled strongly of alcohol', and blew a .31 on the breathalyzer.

Wait, did that say .31?! Holy CRAP!

No one is sure why Wes was driving around Renville, they'd played a show 100 miles away that night, but there doesn't seem to be a reason for him to be that far away, drunk, and driving around like an idiot. Get more details on this most recent arrest at MyFoxTwinCities.com.

According to some data, like from Be Responsible About Drinking, a BAC above .3 is described as:

0.30 BAC: STUPOR. You have little comprehension of where you are. You may pass out suddenly and be difficult to awaken.

And then, with just a little push to .35:

0.35 BAC: Coma is possible. This is the level of surgical anesthesia.

Holy crap! This guys could have been one drink away from a coma, and was driving around at 100MPH! Clearly, a responsible individual we should all learn from.

The band's next show is on Friday in Las Vegas. Smart move, take the drunkard to Vegas for a show. What's the over/under on another mugshot from LVPD this coming Saturday morning?
