Fat falsetto singer John Popper of the late, neo-hippy band Blues Traveler

was arrested near Ritzville after the vehicle he was riding in was clocked going 111 mph, the Washington State Patrol said.

A police dog searched the vehicle, finding numerous hidden compartments. Inside were four rifles, nine handguns, a switchblade knife, a stun gun and night vision goggles.

Popper told officers he collected weapons, the patrol said.

The vehicle also had flashing emergency headlights, a siren and a public address system.

"Popper indicated to troopers that he had installed these items in his vehicle because (in the event of a natural disaster) he didn't want to be left behind," the patrol said.

Reason to move from Seattle: Mt. Ranier might blow, and the Alaskan Way Viaduct will crumble. Even bigger reason: Having to deal with that plus John Popper's shrill voice blaring at you from his SUV's PA system as he fires his stun gun at you indiscriminately on the I-5. More here.
