Scott Weiland’s bassist, Tommy Black has officially been cleared of drug possession charges, after previously being arrested after police found cocaine in his area of the bus at the time of Weiland‘s death. The charges were dropped due to the fact that the narcotics could have pontentially belonged to anyone on the bus.
Deputy Bloomington Police Chief Mike Hartley issued the following statement to People:
“[The narcotics] were found in a bunk and obviously with several people residing on a bus a number of people could have potentially possessed those narcotics, so at the end of the day we decided not to pursue charges against him.”
Weiland passed away on December 3, 2015, after overdosing on cocaine, MDA and alcohol. He was 48.
