According to Stereogum and TMZ, Linkin Park got into it this weekend with a Sublime reincarnation about weed (Rome accused Linkin Park of getting their weed confiscated.) Read the TMZ report and some relevant tweets below.
According to the Pima County Sheriff’s Department, security for Linkin Park approached off-duty deputies at the KMFA Day concert at Tucson Electric Park on Saturday. The sheriff”s report says the security guard told deputies that members of Sublime were smoking weed.
The report — obtained by TMZ — says the guard dropped the dime because one of the members of Linkin Park was allergic to marijuana smoke. When deputies went to confront Sublime With Rome, they found their dressing room empty … but did find “several bags of marijuana.”
The deputies took custody of the pot — as well as some rolling papers, a pipe, and a few roaches.
A rep for Sublime With Rome tells TMZ … Linkin Park felt badly and offered to replace the weed that was taken. But the rep says the band refused and is still pretty pissed off about the whole thing.
Linkin Park called the cops on us and said that they were allergic to pot. cops came and took all our weed while we on stage. Bitch shit

FYI.. I did not call the cops on Sublime. Rome should check his facts before running his mouth!! — Chester Bennington (@ChesterBe) May 27, 2014
LP didn’t “call the cops” on @RomeMusica smoking pot. Not sure where the rumor came from. Definitely not my style, bummer it happened.

We were at a meet & greet when Sublime was on stage, not dressing room. Wouldn’t even know if there was smoke. CC: @AltPress @RomeMusica — Mike Shinoda (@mikeshinoda) May 27, 2014
If someone was “representing the band” to the cops in the venue about weed smoke, they were out of line.
