Coke Shame: Barenaked Ladies Band Member Arrested!
Filed under: Canadialand > Drugs > Music Minute > Busted!
Remember that 90's band Barenaked Ladies?
Their singer, Steven J. Page, was arrested in central New York on Friday and was charged with fourth degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a felony.
The controlled substance is reportedly cocaine.
Cops supposedly saw Page and a 25-year old woman through a glass door sitting in front of a mound of coke on a table and busted them.
Officers were patrolling the neighborhood of 311 East Genesee Street when they spotted a car that was parked across a driveway with the door open. Police stopped and checked the vehicle, which was unoccupied. The officers then checked the house and surrounding neighborhood to find the owner and if see there was any problem. Police checking the apartment building at 311 Genesee Street saw a man and a woman through a glass door sitting at a kitchen table. The officers noticed something suspicious looking on the table, and the people inside quickly covered the table with a towel when they saw police at the door.
The Barenaked Ladies' manager said, "We’re confident Steven will be exonerated of the charges. In the meantime it’s business as usual.”
Stay away from drugs and you'll stay away from jail, kids!

Re: BryGu – WHY IN THE FUCK DID YOU COMMENT FIRST?? I WANNA BE FIRST GOTDAMMIT!!!! UGGGGGHHHHH—- FUCKER!!!! WAAAA, IM SO FUCKIN PISSED OFF!!!!
I love Steven Page and the BareNaked Ladies. And they are still relevent with new cds and cruises all the time. Fight the power Steven!
since when can cops just look into your window and arrest you for what you are doing in the privacy of your own home? i think they would have needed a search warrant for this. not that i condone drug use… but come on… this sounds really illegal on the cops behalf.
12th
the chinese chicken peris i want u in my ass
I was there…drinking V8!
I LOVE 12 and 13!!
Canadians, go home!!!??? HAHA! And yet another reason why the rest of the world dosen't like arrogant AMERICANS!!!!
Shut up BryGu. Doing drugs has nothing to do with where you come from. A lot of musicians are on something anyways, and that's too bad.
Steven Page is a loser! Prosecute him to the full extent of US law; pathetic Canadian courts would slap him on the wrist.
PUT THEIR BEHINDS IN JAIL LIKE YOU DO BLACK FOLKS… NO REHAB .. NO PROBATION.. SEND THEIR BUTTS TO JAIL! THE JUSTICE SYSTEM IS RACIST! AND THEN YOU WONDER WHY SO MANY BLACK MEN ARE IN JAIL,,, THE ONLY WAY WHITE GO IS FOR MURDER! BUNCH OF UNFAIR CRAP! THATS WHY THE WPRLD IS SO EFFED UP ITS SO RACIST AND UNFAIR TO BLACKS AND HISPANICS!
hey, they suck anyway. and he needs cocaine to sing those songs. he sings soooooo fast. and bad
Bad timing with their kids album just being released and all.
BNL is awsome and I am devistated.
he was in the 'cuse. wonder why?
Re: culln – its Ed that sings the fast songs…..give me a break people - -
not you too Steven!!
for shame.
wow, gonna suck to market and promote the new album of kids songs now!
Re: cutie – calm down cutie! you probably dont know who this guy is and you think he should go to jail? The coke was in someone elses house. You dont know the circumstances behind it. Oh-and white people do go to jail, just like black people. Iggnorance is not attractive.
That little coke sprite stickin stash all around to prank people.
Page: Whoa, whatawe got here?
Whore: Dunno, Stevie. Be that baking soda? Ya gonna give me a clit tug later?
Page: Gonna clean my nose of that fish smell first (snort).
Or in this case, don't be an idiot and buy some drapes or shades and uhh USE them!
If they are stupid enough to bring attention to themselves by leaving a car door open and then sitting IN FRONT OF A GLASS DOOR WITH DRUGS then those 2 idiots deserve to be arrested. Natural Selection, baby. Rule #1 when dealing with illegals - COVER YOUR ASS!
that pisses me off—I just bought their children's cd for my kiddos. Glad my money went to good use……
We have enough drugs in this country without importing more drug addicts here. His band is stupid anyway, piece of Canadian trash.
Fuckin A!!!!! I didn't know he had it in him.
Name a rock star who HASN'T done drugs.
Music & drugs go together like… Amy Winehouse & drugs.
He was probably hanging out with Carmelo Anthony
with Eliot Spitzer and his women in the corner
and they were all enjoying the fact that for once there is no snow on the ground in Syracuse.
if i had a million dollars i,d turn into a coke snorting asshole
You know you've hit the skids when you're spending your time doing drugs in Syracuse.
Wasn't this the same douchenozzle who dumped his wife for some chick he met on the internet.
As they say in Canada, "WHAT A LOSER, EH?"
Well, at least the Manlius NY police are onto things. If it had been the old Town of Clay "keystone" cops, they probably would have thought it was powdered sugar and moved on. Syracuse.com said he came to town for things often. Whazzup with that? Never heard of them playing regularly here.
Re: Emily –
We're only arrogant cuz we're the best, bitch. Suck it!!!!!!!!!
What's really sad is that they've crossed over into making music for kids now. Their most recent album was specifically geared toward children. They've been pimping themselves like crazy on the Canadian channel (Kids CBC) - most of their fans these days are under the age of 10. Sad, sad, sad. Way to set an example, guys.
he was in the 'cuse because he was doing drugs because there's really not much else to do here.. represent~!! haha
yooo props to FAYETTEVILLE new york, what the hell was he doing here anyway…?
i am a canadian and fuck all of you that have something bad to say about canada…at least we do not have a war crazy leader and spend more money on war than we do education and health care combined. hope your immigration requests all fail when the shit comes down in the US and you want to move to the BEST COUNTRY EVER!!!
that aside, steven page is a fat fuck and i hope he fries!!!
I cannot believe this guy is still doing coke-it's been like over 10 years that he's had this "problem" and he's still alive? BIGGER MYSTERY-WHY IS HE STILL SO FUCKING FAT?
Re: cutie –
Oh yeah, there are NO white people in jail for years due to drug convictions.
Get your head out of your black victimization and think, dumbass.
That's such a shame…
I am just devastated….BNL are my favorite band! How shocking
"A mound of Coke? they found a capsule you fugly dough boy. I love how you quoted the report and left that omission out. Here's the official line you fat piece of waste
Bleyle said the arrest occurred at about 2 a.m. Friday after patrolling police noticed a suspicious car with its driver's side door left open and found a man and woman in a nearby apartment with a white capsule in front of them. Bleyle said the pair were later found to be in possession of cocaine.
Not a mound like you mention.
Just saw steven page whoring himself to a movie theatre chain doing an ad before 'HellBoy II'; he looked and acted stoned, and couldn't answer quickly, as if he had to have everything translated into an invisible earphone, and his classic stoner recipe was pouring a jar of caramel sauce over popcorn.
So I wouldn't have been surprised by 'a mound of marijuana'. Gateway!
Sadness. I love BNL. I hope it was just… well, not what it looks like. And they need to TOUR!
dude, I heard about this last Friday morning. We know the cop involved by proxy. I don't know any of this for actual fact, but according to what I heard, they parked a car badly on a lawn, and the cop went to the owner's house to check it out because he thought it might be stolen and abandoned. They were completely stupid and allowed the cop into the house. They threw a washcloth over a calcium pill that you apparently use to cut the bad stuff with (I'm not a druggie, so this could be wrong!). He supposedly left his wife and family for this chick in central NY who he met on either facebook or myspace. I can't tell you how icky it is, I used to love barenaked ladies.
i love all this amazingness about syracuse going on. the fonz and now this guy. lovesss it. perez come to syracuse!!
BNL's RULE!! Give him a chance to explain! America loves BNL!!
I LOVE BNL. I remember him having drug and/ or alcohol problems in the past but I thought those days were over. 9 years ago I saw their show in Washington DC and I saw he & his wife strolling their child around the area. They looked happy and I was happy for him. A lot can happen in 9 years. I feel sorry for his kids. I hope Ed isn't on drugs!!!
drugs are bad.
drugs are bad.
whoo! there is some exciting shit going down in syracuse! first the fonz, now someone from the BNL is coming here to get high!
LOL i live in syracuse where he got arrested.
Re: lulup –
The best country ever? Get a grip! Obviously you've only ever lived in Canada…dellusions of grandeur.
Oh, by the way…free (read: nothing "good" is free) health care does NOT make a country great.
Steven Page deserves jail time.
If I had a million dollars..
I'd do dope…..
Wow dude. Dumb
I think everyone needs to chill out. We have heard this story through the grapevine and the story has changed a thousand times. I'm not saying he did or didn't do it but don't condem someone from a story you have heard from a friend of a friend. Also, all of this I hate Canada, I hate black people crap has got to stop. Are you kidding me?!
For christ sake it's just a little coke. Pull your selves together. I'm sure a lot of you posters on here have dabbled here and there. Don't be so goddamn dramatic
I live in the town where this happened… the town is kind of an upscale suburb of Syracuse. Needless to say, things like this don't often happen here. And, this guy was an idiot by leaving his car running, with the passenger side door open, parked over the sidewalk… he practically invited the cops to the door. the cops really don't have that much to do here… there's hardly any crime besides dui's and shit. This is just weird that it happened here… hopefully he'll have his trial here and I can go and be one of Perez's sources!! haha i am lame
Wow I guess nobody gives a shit about their civil liberties. This is a clear violation. They had no probable cause and this is something going on in the privacy of their own house that HAD NO CAUSE to investigate. Nobody was in immediate danger. They were doing something illegal however, there was no fighting, nothing. The cops peeped in through a glass door and witnessed this. So if you are doing something in your house its somehow okay now for the police to peep in? Do you realize how long you would even have to be there to know something was illegal going on? They could have been eating a bowl of cereal. They could have been doing a MILLION things including joking around making fun of someone etc.
This… is dangerous grounds and the charges need to be thrown out in order to preserve the sanctity of WHAT THE USA IS!!!! YOU ALL are acting like you want the old Russian days to exist here! Get off Bushes dick and realize what the fuck you are actually wishing for!

Re: Lee – Go kill yourself
Re: Wiffa – well, i have lived in italy, france, thailand, and even in the US when i lived in chicago for 3 years . . . canada is the best country ever, and you clearly have issues with reading comprehension; i said that the US spends more on war than anything else including health care and education combined…when you have lived in a country that provides health care and superior education let me know. our children do not speak in ebonics and there is no such thing as "we can't afford to see the doctor". . . nice try. go kiss your flag and ride the proud eagle to safety when the US makes it's move on iran at the same time as your economy falls on it's ass!!!
The powder boy forgot to clean his nose before going grocery shopping. The NDP party in Canada ( Mr. Layton and Olivia ) will help him get out of this mess - again !!!
Holy mother of disappointments! Steven Page is such a smart man and a father too! Stupid git.
