FAYETTEVILLE, N.Y. (AP) - The singer and guitarist for the band
Barenaked Ladies has been arrested on drug charges in upstate New
York.
Police say Steven Page was charged with fourth-degree criminal
possession of a controlled substance on Friday in the Syracuse
area.
Authorities say the arrest occurred at about 2 a.m. after
patrolling police noticed a suspicious car with its driver's side
door left open. They say they found Page and two women in a nearby
apartment, along with cocaine and marijuana.
The band's manager confirmed the charge to the Post-Standard of
Syracuse but declined to comment further. The singer, released
after paying $10,000 bail, is due in court Thursday.
