Puddle Of Mudd Frontman Put In Cuffs After Walking Off Stage At Concert

Following California show.

Puddle Of Mudd frontman Wes Scantlin was subdued by bail bondsmen and police immediately after the troubled singer came off stage from a show in California over the weekend.

According to TMZ, Scantlin was restrained and escorted from Saint Rocke in Hermosa Beach, where the band had just finished a headline show, reportedly because the 43-year-old musician skipped a court hearing for the second time, after he was charged for vandalising his old house earlier this year.

He is believed to have broken into the property in January and destroyed audio electronics, surveillance cameras and an alarm system before police arrived and arrested him at the house. 

The judge has reportedly increased Scantlin's bail to $US250,000. The singer is still in custody.

The rock outfit are scheduled to tour throughout the US over the coming months, however the future of these shows are now unclear.
