LATEST: Former GUNS N' ROSES drummer STEVEN ADLER has been released on bail after he was arrested in Los Angeles for possession of narcotics and for appearing to be under the influence of drugs.

The rocker - who also had an outstanding warrant at the time of his arrest - was detained by cops on Friday (18Jul08) morning after emergency services were called to a house in Hollywood following a reported disturbance.

Adler was released later that day (18Jul08) after posting $45,000 (GBP22,500) bail.

The outstanding warrant for the star's arrest stemmed from a 2005 case in which Adler was charged for being under the influence of a controlled substance and driving on a suspended licence. The document was issued after he skipped a subsequent court date in April 2006.

Adler, 43, has endured a long and public battle with drugs and alcohol - he recently appeared on U.S. TV show Celebrity Rehab and was scheduled to appear in its spin-off Sober Living.
