Former Guns N' Roses drummer Steven Adler was arrested this morning in Hollywood for alleged drug possession.

Adler, 43, was arrested about 4 a.m. by Los Angeles police called to a home in the 2200 block of Canyon Drive, where a man was reportedly refusing to leave and creating a disturbance, said Los Angeles Police Officer April Harding.

Adler was arrested on suspicion of possessing narcotics and being under the influence, and for an outstanding warrant, Harding said, although she could not say what the warrant was for.

He was jailed on $45,000 bail.

Adler, who has faced drug charges before, drew attention in 1995 when residents alerted police after spotted him suffering from what turned out to be a heroin overdose in his car while parked in a Sherman Oaks neighborhood. He was later charged in connection with the incident.
