Stapp 911 call: Wife pleads for authorities to come since husband was ‘on drugs and pot’
BOCA RATON, Fla. — The wife of former Creed frontman Scott Stapp pleaded for authorities to come to the couple’s home over the weekend, according to a 911 tape released Tuesday.
"He just threw a glass bottle at me,” Jaclyn Nesheiwat said in a hysterical call Sunday. "He just came home, he’s wasted ... he’s been out partying all night.”
She told the dispatcher Stapp was "on drugs and pot. There’s a lot of pot in the house.”
Nesheiwat also said Stapp had guns in the home. Asked how many, she said: "I don’t know, a lot ... I don’t know, five or 10.”
No one was injured.
Stapp was arrested Sunday and initially charged with aggravated assault with intent to commit a felony. The charge was reduced to a misdemeanor Monday.
Before police arrived, Nesheiwat called 911 again.
"He’s hiding all the drugs,” she said. "He’s still under the influence right now.”
Stapp was released from custody Monday and will be subject to random drug and alcohol testing, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office.
Italian groups say ticket prices too high for Streisand concert

ROME — Italian consumer groups want authorities to cancel Barbra Streisand’s concert in Rome next month because of excessive ticket prices.
The Adusbef and Codacons groups urged the city of Rome and the Italian Olympic Committee to deny permission for Streisand to perform at the Stadio Flaminio on June 15. It is the 65-year-old singer’s first-ever concert in Italy and the start of her European tour.
The ticket prices, which range from just under $200 to more than $1,200.
The 24,000-seat stadium, owned by the city and managed by the Committee, "is public property and cannot be used for immoral deals that are shameful to a civilized country,” the statement said.
Concert organizers weren’t immediately available for comment.
All but the cheapest tickets were available for purchase Tuesday on the Internet.
Streisand’s monthlong European tour also includes concerts in Austria, France, Ireland and Britain.
