Warrant Singer Jani Lane Arrested For DUI

 

Warrant front man Jani Lane was arrested for DUI. According to sources the singer was arrested for running into a parked car in his Sedan. When police arrived on the scene, they essentially gave him a alcohol field test, that he did not pass. 

He was released Sunday however there was severe damage to his Sedan. He doesn’t remember hitting a parked car however I bet he will when the owners come forth with a bill or a lawsuit against him.

This isn’t the first time that he has had a run in with the authorities for DUI although he pleaded no contest to those and was released. He was placed on probation for three years. This was in July of 2009. Ironically the officer that arrested him Sunday was the same officer that arrested him in 2009. He probably knew it was coming, because you can’t hit a parked car and expect to get away with it.

There was no injuries to anyone during the accident but the owners of the car he hit that was parked and not moving will most likely sue the rock band star and he will probably try to get out of it saying he can’t remember. And if he was really drunk he may not remember hitting it, unfortunately a police report doesn’t lie.

Before when he got arrested in 2009 and placed on probation it probably didn’t cost him much, this time he is going to have to pay for what he did. Depending on how much damage was caused to the parked car.

Authorities at the scene said that the car that Jani Lane hit suffered an ample amount of damage and whoever owns the car is going to get him for as much as they can. He won’t get off so easy this time.

Blabbermouth (via TMZ.com) is reporting that former Warrant lead vocalist Jani Lane was found dead in a Los Angeles area hotel room early last evening, August 11th. Lane was 47 years old.



Lane was pronounced dead by Fire Department personnel who responded to a call shortly before 5:30 p.m. in the Comfort Inn in the 20100 block of Ventura Boulevard in Woodland Hills, California, the Los Angeles Police Department said.



The cause of death was unknown, and the case was turned over to the Los Angeles county coroner's office, LAPD officer Sara Faden told the Los Angeles Times.



Lane was married three times and is survived by a wife and four children.



Sadly, to anyone who knows much about Jani's life over the past decade the news comes as no real surprise. I was sad to hear it - but not surprised. And while Warrant were never in my Top 10 favorite band, not even in my Top 20, I did and still do listen to them from time to time and saw them live once with Lane and once again a few years later after he'd been thrown out of the band. Here's one of my favorite Warrant tracks in memoriam. Rest in Peace, man...
