A judge has sentenced Scott Weiland [ tickets ] to spend nearly 11 more months in a Los Angeles County prison after he admitted to violating the probationary terms surrounding a 1998 arrest for heroin possession for the third time. The troubled Stone Temple Pilots frontman has been locked up since Aug. 13, when authorities reportedly discovered that he had been treated for a heroin overdose in July.

According to publidhed reports, Weiland, though his attorney, admitted to violating the terms of his probation by being kicked out of a drug rehab center in January, by walking out of another in July, and by using heroin. Though the District Attorney prosecuting the case suggested that Weiland split his time between jail and a lockdown rehabilitation program, Judge Larry Paul Fidler was unbending on the jail-only sentence.

Weiland, who has been in and out of jail and rehab programs since at least 1995, was handed a year in prison and credited with 35 days served.

After a lengthy hiatus spawned by Weiland's long-standing drug problems, Stone Temple Pilots regrouped this year to record their fourth album and to play three surprise shows. The new album, titled #4 (Atlantic), is scheduled for release on Oct. 26.
