Singer misses court date for riding baggage carousel into secure area at Denver airport

DENVER – A band’s lead singer has missed a court date after being arrested for riding the oversized luggage carousel at the Denver International Airport earlier this year.

KMGH-TV reports that Puddle of Mudd lead singer Wes Scantlin was arrested by Denver police and charged with misdemeanour trespassing after taking his joy ride into an area that requires a security clearance for entrance.

DIA spokesman Heath Montgomery says this is only the second instance in 20 years in which airport officials remember someone riding the baggage carousel into a secured area.

Scantlin did not show up for his February arraignment, and he faces a warrant for failure to appear in court.

Neither Scantlin or his manager could be immediately reached for comment.
