The man identified himself as Scott Weiland which was enough to fool the police and the jailers. The Beverley Hills Police Department even provided TMZ with a written statement stating that Weiland had been taken in to custody.

It wasn’t until Weiland, who is no stranger to crime and punishment, posted a video of himself in a recording studio on Facebook assuring TMZ that he wasn’t behind bars and had in fact been recording material and touring and that TMZ should expect a call from his lawyers.

This wasn’t enough for the Sheriff’s office who were still adamant that they wad the 46 year old Weiland and had done a physical check to verify his identity.

It wasn’t until later the BHPD put their tail between their legs, stuck one hand up in the air and said ‘My bad’.  Now convinced they did not have Weiland in custody but identified via a FBI fingerprint return that the inmate was 44 year old Jason Michael Hurley. Hurley can now expect a further charge of providing false information added to the burglary and drug charges.

The LA county sheriff tried to justify the mix up by saying that the offender has red hair like Weiland…. Well, like he had in the music video for their 1993 hit, Plush.

Other than a similar hair cut the guy doesn’t really look like Weiland.

Having a second rate alleged criminal imposter may be Stone Temple Pilots biggest atrocity since Chester Bennington became their front man.

Deryck Whibley: Sum 41

Apparently Sum 41 were really huge in the 90s. Personally I never saw what was so special about them. AndRise’s very own Mitch Page was prepared to declare war on Sum 41 and punch Whibley in his pretty little face to snag Avril Lavinge’s affection but after seeing Whibley emerge from obscurity it was pretty clear why Lavinge left Sum 41 for Nickelback.

Mark Hoppus: Blink 182

Mark, If no one likes you when you were 23 even less people like you when you are 43.

Tom DeLonge: Blink 182

His friends said he should act his age, but what is his age again?

Dexter Holland: Offspring

He is also looking pretty fly…. for an old guy.

A. Jay Popoff: Lit

Remember Lit? Yeah, they like had that one song which I swear was in every American Pie movie. Anyway, A. Jay, it looks like age was your own worst enemy.

Jonathan Davis: Korn

If a back to front letter R was the coolest thing going around Korn were certainly the coolest. Here is what the front man of the band that ‘got the life’ looks like today.

Fred Durst: Limp Bizkit

Fred used to do it all for the Nookie but these days he is just another sucker with a lump stuck in his throat. In the words of PJ Harvey, “who is Fred Durst?”

Scott Weiland: Stone Temple Pilots

For a dude who has taken the amount of alcohol and drugs as Weiland has he sure is looking pretty good.
