Jail isn't too far awa-ay-ay (sung to the tune of "Heaven") Jani Lane, the (now former) lead singer and songwriter for the band Warrant, was arrested June 17 for DUI in Los Angeles. Lane reportedly struck a parked car in the San Fernando valley around 9:30 pm Wednesday. Officers from the Los Angeles Police Department suspected intoxication after Lane failed a field sobriety test and booked him at the Van Nuys Division station for misdemeanor California DUI. His bail was set at $30,000.
Lane, 45, lead the glam-metal band during the late 80's and into the 90's, creating hits like 'Heaven' and 'Cherry Pie'. He left Warrant in 2002 to start a solo career. Shortly after releasing an album, he entered a rehab program due to exhaustion from alcohol and drug use. He later rejoined Warrant only to again leave the group and be replaced as lead singer.
