Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland was booked on one count of domestic battery and jailed for 12 hours on Monday (11/19). According to police, he got into a fight with his wife in a room at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

A police report said that Weiland's wife, Mary, attempted to keep him from leaving the room to pick up a prescription. She told police that "as time went on, [Weiland] got more physical with me by hitting me against a wall and stepping on me."

Weiland, who has a history of drug abuse, told police that his doctor prescribed the medication for a knee injury.

The arrest occurred following a Stone Temple Pilots performance at the Hard Rock. A second show is scheduled to go on as planned tonight.

Universal Records said that the first pressing of "Bee Gees: Their Greatest Hits--The Record," released today (11/20), contains a previously unreleased version of "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart." According to the label, that version "made its way onto [this pressing] when the wrong master was apparently delivered for production," and won't be included on subsequent pressings.
