Crazy Town singer Shifty Shellshock was arrested yesterday (March 28) in Los Angeles over an alleged domestic disturbance.

The singer, real name is Seth Binzer, was arrested at his house at 10:35am (CPT) after police had received a call over an alleged altercation between him and his girlfriend.

Once at Binzer's home police discovered he had outstanding warrants and detained him. He was held in Van Nuys jail on $5,000 (£3,126) bail, which was posted late last night.

Interviewed after leaving jail by TMZ.com, Binzer said "he didn't do domestic violence" and that police has been called because his girlfriend "was being too loud".

He also said he believes the arrest was in relation to an incident with a security guard at a Los Angeles nightclub in 2006. He will have to return to court in the near future to answer the charges.

Binzer has endured a high-profile struggle with substance abuse over the last few years. He appeared on US reality shows Celebrity Rehab and Sober House to seek treatment for drug addiction.

Crazy Town are currently readying their third studio album. A new song, 'Come Inside', leaked on the internet last month.

The album will be the follow-up their 2002 album 'Dark Horse'.
