Fall Out Boy Frontman Arrested

Fall Out Boy singer Patrick Stump was arrested on a two-year-old for driving without a valid license in Los Angeles, the Associated Press reports.

Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said Stump was arrested late Tuesday during a traffic stop. He was taken in to the West Hollywood Sheriff's station on an outstanding warrant for driving without a license. He was released early Wednesday after having his mugshot taken and posting $15000 bail.

Court records show that the 25-year-old frontman failed to appear on a misdemeanor driving without a valid driver's license case in Beverly Hills in June 2007. A judge subsequently issued a warrant for his arrest.

"All I really have to say is ignorance of the law isn't innocence,"' Stump told MTV News. "I didn't want to give up my Illinois driver's license and was unaware that was a crime. It is, by the way, in the state of California. Lesson learned. I technically broke a law so technically I deserve whatever I get. But man, is my mom gonna be pissed."

If convicted, Stump could face a maximum of six months in jail and/or a $1,000 fine.

Fall Out Boy is scheduled to play next at the Reading Festival in England on Friday.
