Scott Stapp, the former lead singer of platinum rock band Creed, was arrested in Boca Raton, Fla. last night on su****ion of domestic assault with intent to commit a felony. Stapp, who spent the night behind bars in a Palm Beach County jail, is scheduled to appear in court this morning, where a judge will set bond. Scott's wife has come forward to give her account of what went down: Scott Stapp's wife claims that she was "in fear for her life" when the rocker flung a glass bottle of Orangina at her face during an alleged incident Sunday morning. According to the police report, Stapp's wife, Miss New York USA 2004, Jaclyn Nesheiwat Stapp, claims that she called 911 after Scott stumbled into their $5 million mansion around 8:00 AM and got "very angry" when she asked if he was "using drugs." Jaclyn told police that Stapp began yelling at her to "leave him alone," before he grabbed an Orangina bottle and launched it at her face, nearly hitting her. When cops arrived, they found the shattered bottle ... and several handguns locked in a safe. According to the report, "Scott was very cooperative" about handing over the firearms, which were immediately confiscated. One of the responding officers claims that Stapp did admit to throwing the bottle, but the former Creed frontman also said, "Jaclyn was no where in the area." Now, with someone like Scott Stapp I would be fine with him jumping on the latest Hollywood trend of celebs going to jail ... but it sounds like he might benefit from the other latest Hollywood trend that is so hot right now -- rehab. In either case, he would not be allowed to assault the public with any of his music so it'd be win-win for everyone.
