Scott Weiland wishes he got arrested for stealing razors from a drug store ... because the razor theft was small potatoes compared to what cops ultimately found -- meth.
The Stone Temple Pilots singer is in jail ... charged with felony possession of a controlled substance and burglary.
Cops tell us ... Scott went to a Bev Hills Rite-Aid late last month and pilfered some razors and other cosmetic items. When a security guard tried stopping him, Scott breezed out, but not for long. Cops nabbed him down the block, searched him and found what they say was methamphetamine.
We're also told Scott pulled the celeb card, telling cops, "I'm Scott Weiland from Stone Temple Pilots."
It didn't work. He's been in jail the last 4 weeks on $95,000 bond.
BTW ... as for why the charge was burglary instead of simple theft ... cops say he entered with the intent of stealing, and their proof is that he carried an "insulated" bag which prevents censors from going off.
