Barenaked Ladies singer Page arrested on cocaine charge
NEW YORK -- Barenaked Ladies singer Steven Page has been arrested in New York with possession of cocaine.
Police in Syracuse, N.Y. said Page was arrested Friday along with two American women after police noticed something suspicious in an apartment in the village of Fayette.
"As [the officers] approached the apartment they saw people in the window sitting at a table and it looked like they were engaged in something. There was a white capsule and a white powdery substance that later tested positive for cocaine." said Capt. Bill Bleyle with the Manlius Police Department in New York State.

Page, 38, is charged with possession of a controlled substance. Police said Page was released on $10,000 bail.
Bleyle said a further search of the apartment turned up more cocaine and some marijuana. However he said the charges in connection with Page only related to the cocaine.
Page's manager, Terry McBride, said he cannot comment while the matter is before the courts, but added he's confident his client will be cleared of all charges.
Until then, said McBride, it's "business as usual for the Barenaked Ladies."
