Scott Weiland, frontman of rock group Velvet Revolver,
has seen his wardrobe go up in smoke and his wife arrested.
The two incidents, which took place on the weekend, were
directly related.

The former Stone Temple Pilots singer’s shoes and suits
were burned in a bonfire by 31-year-old Mary Weiland
on the front lawn of their California home.

She was arrested on suspicion of arson and vandalism,
with damage estimated at some $10 000.

She was booked, according to LA County Sheriff Department
records, at the Burbank jail at 1.25am on Sunday morning
and released a little short of two hours later. After posting
bail of $50 000 she left at 3.10am.

A few hours prior to the bonfire incident, the Weilands were
questioned by Burbank police in connection with an incident
at the nearby Graciela Burbank Hotel.

“Significant” damage had been caused to the boutique
hotel, according to Matthew Ferguson of the Burbank
Police. He told E! News that only Mary Weiland, and not
her husband, was a suspect in the incident.
