Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver frontman Scott Weiland , who last year walked out of a court-ordered stay at a live-in drug detoxification after a month at the facility, has been ordered by a judge to return.

Weiland--who entered the facility last October after a heroin-possession arrest--reportedly had checked himself back into center by Friday (1/23), and he will be eligible for release in July.
