Barenaked Ladies frontman Stephen Page has been arrested on drug charges according to the CBC. Steven Page, along with two women, were arrested after police found cocaine and marijuana in a Fayetteville, N.Y., apartment, according to a Syracuse-area radio station's website, 9WSYR.com.It is not apparently clear who the drugs belonged to or what the outcome of any court proceedings might be. Page's manager Terry McBride is promising business as usual until the case is decided however, according to US law, this could result in Page being unable to re-enter the United States. Remember folks, if you want to stay out of trouble (whether you've done anything wrong or not) is don't go to the U.S..
Page and one of the women were apparently arrested Friday after police discovered a car with an open door in the driveway of a home. While they were investigating the vehicle, officers observed a man and a woman sitting at a kitchen table with a white capsule inside an apartment.
Police said the man and woman had a substance that tested positive for cocaine. Page, 38, was charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fourth degree. He was reportedly arraigned in Manlius, N.Y., Town Court and released after posting $10,000 US bail.
We can only hope that Page will receive a fair trial and won't wind up in Guantanamo or Syria.
