WHITEHALL, N.Y. --Guitarist Trey Anastasio was accused of driving under the influence of drugs in an upstate New York town near the Vermont border early Friday.

The former Phish frontman was pulled over by an officer who saw his car failing to keep to right side of the road at about 3:30 a.m., Whitehall village police said.

A search turned up quantities of the painkillers hydrocodone and Percocet, as well as the anti-anxiety drug Xanax, that had been prescribed for someone else, police said.

Anastasio, who was driving with a suspended New York license, was charged with third-degree aggravated unlicensed operation, seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and driving while intoxicated-drugs, police said. He was released and scheduled for a court appearance at a later date.

"I feel terrible about what happened last night, and I am deeply sorry for any embarrassment I have caused my friends, family and fans," Anastasio said in a written statement.

Anastasio lives in Vermont and has been performing solo since Phish broke up in 2004.

Hey, Trey, PM me if you need help relocating your ballsac once again long enough to muster enough courage to face the world and do your thing, which is of course singing. It's ok little, buddy, the feds have not outlawed concerts and or singing, freedom of assembly, freedom of speech or even having clean fun (yet); RATHER, THEY HAVE IN ACTUALITY INTIMIDATED YOU JUST ENOUGH TO QUIT YOUR LIFELONG PASSION BY YOUR OWN VOLITION. You have, by your own self-evident cowardice and public unwilingness to stand up for your right to perform and do your musical duty, or maybe you made more money than you had fun.

Life without music makes me collicky.

Trey, in a word, you suck Trey. I'm sorry, baby.
Where do you plan to hide from publicity, fans, dharma, music, and all forms of authority following this incident?
