Remember that 90's band Barenaked Ladies?

Their singer, Steven J. Page, was arrested in central New York on Friday and was charged with fourth degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a felony.

The controlled substance is reportedly cocaine.

Cops supposedly saw Page and a 25-year old woman through a glass door sitting in front of a mound of coke on a table and busted them.

Officers were patrolling the neighborhood of 311 East Genesee Street when they spotted a car that was parked across a driveway with the door open. Police stopped and checked the vehicle, which was unoccupied. The officers then checked the house and surrounding neighborhood to find the owner and if see there was any problem. Police checking the apartment building at 311 Genesee Street saw a man and a woman through a glass door sitting at a kitchen table. The officers noticed something suspicious looking on the table, and the people inside quickly covered the table with a towel when they saw police at the door.

The Barenaked Ladies' manager said, "We’re confident Steven will be exonerated of the charges. In the meantime it’s business as usual.”

Stay away from drugs and you'll stay away from jail, kids!
