Puddle of Mudd’s Wes Scantlin Avoids Jail Time in DV and Drugs Case

Wes Scantlin — the lead singer of rock band Puddle of Mudd — just got some great news in court … he won’t be spending time in the slammer in his domestic battery and drug possession case.

Court docs obtained by TMZ show that in lieu of jail time, Wes was put into a one-year diversion program and has to enroll in and complete a drug rehab program.

Remember … police arrested Wes last year after cops say he got physical with his girlfriend. According to the cops, they also found drugs on his person during a search.

But now, the judge accepted the plea agreement to put him in the diversion program for the drug possession charge, and dismissed the remaining counts.
