— Scott Weiland was arrested on charges of driving under the influence of a drug after he crashed his car, but his publicist says it was a minor accident and denies the allegations.

The Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver singer was driving on a state highway Nov. 21 when he had the accident.

The singer was arrested after an officer noticed he showed "signs of impairment" and failed field sobriety tests, according to a police report posted Monday by the celebrity Web site TMZ.com.

Weiland, 40, was taken to the Van Nuys Jail, where he refused to take a blood or urine test, according to the police report. He was booked on DUI charges and released on $40,000 bail. His next court appearance is scheduled Dec. 13.
