BOCA RATON, Fla. --
Former Creed frontman Scott Alan Stapp was arrested at his home
Sunday and charged with assault related to domestic violence,
authorities said.
Stapp was charged with one count of domestic assault with intent to
commit a felony and was being held without bond, according to a
Palm Beach County Jail official who was reached by telephone and
would not give her name.
No one was injured and no one was taken to the hospital, said Paul
Miller, a Sheriff's Office spokesman.
Miller declined to identify the victim and said he had no
information about any physical violence.
"We don't know exactly what occurred here," said Miller.
It was not immediately known if Stapp had an attorney.
Stapp, 33, was married a year ago last February at the Vizcaya
Museum and Gardens in Miami to former Miss New York Jaclyn
Nesheiwat.
Nesheiwat declined to comment Sunday night.
"It's just a rough time," she told The Palm Beach Post.
Stapp's former band Creed sold more than 25 million records in the
United States. He has since launched a solo singing career.
Miller did not immediately respond to telephone messages left on
his cell phone and at his office after hours by The Associated
Press. Stapp's manager did not immediately return an e-mail seeking
comment or telephone message left at his office after
hours.
