A Barenaked Lady Gets Busted
Barenaked Ladies’ singer and guitarist Steven Page was arrested Friday in upstate New York and charged with possession of cocaine.
According to the Manilus Police Department, the 38-year-old musician and two whores women were holed up in an apartment in Fayetteville, just outside of Syracuse, at approximately 2 a.m. Friday, when a patrol unit arrived on scene to inspect a nearby car with its driver’s side door left open.
While investigating the “suspicious vehicle,” officers noticed Page and 25-year-old companion Stephanie Ford seated in an apartment kitchen with “an unknown white capsule in front of them.” After confronting the pair, police performed a field test and determined the substance was cocaine. (shocking!)
The two were taken into custody and booked on felony criminal possession of a controlled substance. Ford was also charged with marijuana posession. (This one’s trouble….)The third woman who resided in the apartment, 27-year-old Christine Benedicto, was not present at the time of the others’ arrest (Read: Beer Runner). She was booked a few hours later on a misdemeanor pot-posession count.
Wow….I always new the Candians were trouble….
