Rod Stewart’s son Sean was detained by police in Los Angeles on Tuesday after his car was stopped by traffic cops, who discovered an outstanding warrant for his arrest.

The 30 year old was driving through the San Fernando Valley when his car was pulled over for an alleged traffic violation. The officers are then said to have arrested him after they found out a warrant had been issued for Stewart for allegedly driving on a suspended licence.

He was checked into a police station in Beverly Hills before being released later that evening after posting $40,000 (£26,667) bail, according to TMZ.com.
