Creed Singer Locked Up on Domestic Violence Charge

Scott StappScott Stapp, the former lead singer of platinum rock band Creed, was arrested in Boca Raton, Fla. last night on suspicion of domestic assault with intent to commit a felony.

Stapp, who spent the night behind bars in a Palm Beach County jail, is scheduled to appear in court this morning, where a judge will set bond.

At this point, no victim has been identified.

The 33-year-old rocker was married to Miss New York USA 2004 Jaclyn Nesheiwat in February 2006. The couple has a 4-month-old daughter together. Stapp also has a son from a previous marriage.

UPDATE: TMZ has learned that a judge has lowered Stapp's original booking charge from a felony to a misdemeanor. Now, the state attorney has 30 days to charge the rockstar or reject the case altogether.
