Remember that fat fuck who sang in a band called Blues Traveler? Yeah, well apparently he smoked one too many blunts and developed paranoia as a result. Searching for conspiracy theories on the internet probably didn’t help either. TMZ reports with the full story:
Blues Traveler frontman John Popper was arrested in Spokane, Wash. yesterday for speeding (111 mph, no big deal) and marijuana possession (not exciting). But during the search, officers found multiple hidden compartments in Popper’s vehicle — which held a total of 14 weapons, including four rifles (one of which was a 50 caliber), nine handguns and a switchblade knife! Now we’re talking!
Popper was arrested along with a friend, Brian Gourgeois, who was driving Popper’s car at the time. They will both be charged with possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia. The WSP also says that DEA agents seized Popper’s vehicle, and he could face federal charges of possessing a vehicle with hidden compartments. Let’s hope his harmonica playing goes over well in the big house.
This isn’t the first time Popper has been busted for drugs and weapons! From About Crime:
In April 2003, Popper was arrested in Texas and charged with misdemeanor marijuana possession. Records indicate he was arrested previously in September 1995 in New Jersey for possessing illegal weapons and driving a car with an expired registration. Popper, a weapons collector, is said to have owned a large selection of guns, knives, and swords.
