When Description Source
1993-1994 Former frontman Scott Weiland and bassist Robert DeLeo were accused of attacking a 22-year-old concertgoer at a show in Gardner, Massachusetts, after Weiland singled him out from the crowd. The man reportedly suffered a skull fracture. In 1994, a court-sanctioned agreement required Weiland and DeLeo to pay restitution for medical expenses, perform a free concert at a local high school and give an anti-violence talk. The case proceeded without a finding of guilt or innocence. Source
2001 Scott Weiland was arrested after an altercation with his then-wife, Mary Weiland. She had bruises on both arms. In December, he pleaded guilty to domestic battery under an agreement that allowed the case to be dismissed if he avoided further trouble for six months and completed 26 counselling sessions. Source
2022 Stone Temple Pilots participated in D.A.V.E. JAM, a benefit concert that raised more than $90,000 for the David Z Foundation, which supports music education and programming for underprivileged children. Source
