Warrant's Jani Lane in Second DUI Arrest in a Year

By PopEater Staff Posted May 10th 2010 08:25AM

Not to be outdone by fellow hair band-er Bret Michaels -- the ailing Poison frontman in the headlines daily -- Warrant singer and sometimes-reality star Jani Lane has found his way back in the news this week after scoring his second DUI arrest in a year.

The Los Angeles Police Department tells TMZ that Lane, 46, was arrested Sunday evening in Woodland Hills, Calif., after he allegedly rammed his car into a parked vehicle, mangling his ride in the process. No injuries were reported.

Officers arrived on the scene and Lane badly failed sobriety and breathalyzer tests -- he reportedly blew more than twice the state's legal limit of .08. He is currently in custody. According to TMZ, Lane was arrested by the same officer that took him in last June.

In that incident, the rocker also hit a parked car. He pleaded no contest to misdemeanor DUI a month later, and was put on probation for three years.

Warrant was one of the most commercially popular bands in their day, racking up hits like 'Down Boys' and 'Heaven.' But their biggest success came with the campy and brazenly sexist video for 1990's 'Cherry Pie.'

A bloated, sauced and generally downtrodden Lane appeared on the 2005 season of VH1's 'Celebrity Fit Club.' After cleaning up his act, Lane reunited with Warrant, only to leave the group again in 2008.

What a shame. Another talent vanquished by John Barleycorn.

Another "talent" ? Wait, I thought this was about Jani Lane. Did I miss something ?

By Vallabella

Not SO talented. He had a look - blonde, blue eyes, long hair and was a rock star. If he was so talented he would have still been going strong like so many others from the 80's.

By Maybe Thunder

Seriously, BTDT?!? "John Barleycorn"????????? How OLD are you?

Try to be facetious and look what it gets you.

I can't believe you would equate this idiots actions with what Bret Michaels is going through. As if Bret's condition was his own doing like this moron. I have no sympathy for someone that drinks and gets behind the wheel of a vehicle. This guy could have wiped out an entire family or at the very least, not that it would be a great loss, himself. This article starts out sounding as if the writed believes that Bret's medical condition was his own doing, that he had some control over it. This article should be pulled or at the very least rewritten.

Cathyhri, I am SO with you on this! Any implication is stupid, even implying that Lane did this to get in the media. Bret should have never been brought up at all. Wether people think Lane is talented, Warrant is still a staple of 80's glam rock and I, as female teen in that era thought he was HAWT! :P Then I saw his picture now and was like " Oh wow, dude, what did you do to yourself!?" Bret is a year older and looks the same as he did years ago. Bret and Jani are light years apart. Warrant brings up some warm memories, but that's all they are now.

By heather

What's with these has-been hair band members with wearing the bandanas? They looked like fools 25 years ago they look more so now that their in their 50's.

By boldier

Even though he is still in his 40s'. But yeah Jani (what a name for a man, and I use the term man loosely)sucks and shouldn't even be considered a rocker

By E.D.

Bret was in a horrible accident years ago and his head was split he either wears hats or bandanas for this reason look it up before you judge.

They have to have something to hold those toupees/extensions in place.

By Grimmy

They wear bandanas cuz they were a Big Hair Band ...... now they got NO hair!!

Jani Lane sucks and always has. I can't believe anyone would even consider him rock and roll. He Sucks.

By Kitticat

Do those guys need those ugly bandanas to hold up those uglier blond wigs? They may not be ugly, but those ugly bandanas make them look old, ugly, feminine, and outdated. Too bad, cause they have such handsome faces hidden by those pieces of bandana cotton. Too Freakin' bad.

By notrock

They should of charged him with impersonating a rocker!

By lisa

i dont know whats worse, the bandana or the eye liner!
