311 Slapps Stapp

12/02/05
. (Day in Rock) [The following came from one of our regular readers] According to SA Martinez of 311. Scott Stapp was in the same Hotel/Hotel Bar in Baltimore on Thanksgiving night. Apparently Mr. Stapp showed up to the lounge in the Hotel while the boys from 311 were enjoying the Laker game. [The following comes from 311's website] "[Stapp] appeared intoxicated. He drank a shot at the bar and then threw his shot glass, smashing it on the bar. He was acting belligerent and got into an argument with patrons sitting at the bar. He then sat down next to SA and his wife. He made a disrespectful and crude remark to SA's wife. Chad and SA asked him to step away. He then sucker-punched Chad." According to SA on KROQ yesterday, "I laid Scott Stapp out" and then Chad finished the job. Hotel Security and Baltimore Police showed up. No arrests were made and Mr. Stapp was made to check out of the hotel immediately. [There are various reports on the web about this. The Hotel security hotel director told AP that he has film of the fight and it appears that 311 attacked Stapp. Billboard reports that the Baltimore Police have no record of officers responding to a call to the hotel. We could not find an official comment from the Stapp camp beyond a "no comment" given to E! You can read 311's account at the full story link]
