Founder of Barenaked Ladies denies cocaine charges

Los Angeles - Barenaked Ladies' singer and guitarist Steven Page has pleaded not guilty to cocaine charges stemming from his arrest in New York Friday, the band said on its website Wednesday. The 38-year-old musician and two women were arrested in Fayetteville, New York, when a patrol unit investigating a suspicious car saw them in an apartment kitchen with 'an unknown white capsule in front of them.' After confronting the pair, police performed a field test and determined the substance was cocaine. 'Many of you have probably read or heard press accounts about Steven Page's recent arrest in New York state,' the band says in a 'note to the fans' on its website. 'Steven has pleaded not guilty to the charges against him and the validity of the charges against Steven will be strongly contested. While this is happening, it's business as usual for Barenaked Ladies.'
