One day after getting married, Scott Stapp, former Creed singer, was arrested Saturday at Los Angeles International Airport for being intoxicated.
An Airport Police representative confirmed to Billboard.com that Stapp was taken into custody for being under the influence of alcohol, but was unable to elaborate on the charges.
The singer got married a day earlier in Miami to Jaclyn Nesheiwat, who is a former Miss New York and the director of public affairs for the Scott Stapp Foundation, which promotes healthy parent-child relationships.
The Airport Police Department is preparing a statement regarding the arrest. The spokesperson noted that any booking or blood alcohol testing would be conducted by the Los Angeles Police Department, not at the airport. An LAPD representative was unable to comment on Stapp's arrest at deadline.
Stapp was involved in a Thanksgiving altercation with members of the funk group 311 at a hotel bar in Baltimore. The band has asserted that Stapp was intoxicated with alcohol, destructive and made inappropriate comments to a band member's wife, while Stapp has maintained that he did not instigate the altercation.
