Weezer Bassist's Wife Arrested for Attempted Murder After Police Shootout
The wife of Weezer bassist Scott Shriner was arrested after getting involved in a shootout with police during a chase in Los Angeles. According to a Wednesday, April 9, news release from the Los Angeles Police Department, the authorities were in pursuit of a hit-and-run suspect in a residential neighborhood on Tuesday, April 8. A woman who was later identified as Shriner’s wife, Jillian Lauren, was observed in a “neighboring residence armed with a handgun.” “The officers ordered [Lauren] to drop the handgun numerous times,” the statement read. “However, she refused. [Lauren] then pointed the handgun at the officers and an Officer-Involved Shooting occurred.” The LAPD stated that Lauren, 51, was “struck by gunfire and fled into her residence.” Lauren later exited the home and was taken into custody.
