Blues Traveler frontman John Popper was arrested in Washington earlier today, after state patrol officers clocked the vehicle he was in going at 111 miles per hour. The driver of the black Mercedes SUV was 34-year-old Austinite Brian Gourgeois.
What's more interesting is the stash of contraband discovered inside the vehicle, which was outfitted with a siren, a public address system, and several hidden interior compartments. Besides a "small amount" of weed, officers found: four rifles, nine handguns, a switchblade knife, a Taser, and night vision goggles.
According to state troopers, Popper claimed the above items were meant as a precaution in the event of "a natural disaster," which we're guessing is code for "the apocalypse." It's not the first time that he's been caught with a weapons cache, though -- back in 1995, Popper was arrested in New Jersey after officers found hollow-point bullets and a small knife in the back of his jeep.

the headline on the "breaking news" last night was Popper Popped. made me smile....
WOW! Seems a little excessive for self-defense. Me, I have a K-Bar Kukuri and Legal-in-Ausin poppers to scare anyone off.
Ladies and gentlemen, the Zodiac killer has finally been caught!
I don't see why he needs all that shit to scare people when he could just toot on his harmonica.
Ba-dumb.
Did y'all see J.J. Castillo getting arrested on Fox 7 news last night? He was filmed getting arrested by Fox 7 News for filming an accident scene that they were filming too. But he had a pinch hitter in his pocket so the whole thing turned out very funny in a wtf kinda way. I thought that was the weirdest thing that happened last night but I think this one takes the cake.
