(TMZ) - Wes Scantlin scared the crap out of his neighbors by pulling a Wile E. Coyote plot that made his car look like a bomb ... TMZ has learned.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the Puddle of Mudd singer took matters into his own hands after his car was broken into multiple times. We're told the scheme -- involving 2 vehicles -- was pretty basic: a radio under one car with wires leading into the motor, and the second car had wires from a door to the gas tank.
Rather than scare off crooks, it terrified neighbors who called cops. The bomb squad came out and evacuated 4 surrounding buildings in the WeHo neighborhood.
As you can imagine, cops laid into Wes for the stupid idea, which drained valuable police resources.
He wasn't charged with a crime, for once. He needs to go buy The Club.
A couple of thoughts here. I feel like this plan can only be described as one of two ways: one - kinda brilliant, but unfortunately you are in the epicenter of the Uptight Douche Who Doesn't Have Real Problems Capitol of the World that is West Hollywood, or two - the plan that sounds awesome when you're drunk and high that completely neglects your surroundings.
I mean say what you want, but the visual of a guy's being so pissed off of having his car broken into that he's forced to fake a car bomb, is pretty hilarious, and I feel like the line between brilliant and stupid has never been more, wait for it...wait for it...Blurry. (See what I did there?!?).
I honestly feel like Wes' reputation and recent events are distracting us from what seems to be a pretty well thought out plan. "You want to rob me? Be my guest. Just know that those wired could be connected to a bomb. Or they could just be some wires that are running from the radio to the gas cap. Your call."
It's basically a choose your own adventure story for junky thieves. Wes is just trying to make them think twice about what they're about to do. That used to be considered mentoring.
