Michael Douglas's Son Arrested With Crystal Meth

2007 mug shot

Last night TMZ reported that Cameron Douglas (spawn of Michael) was arrested in NYC for "possession of methamphetamines with the intent to distribute." Indeed, the Post later reported that the 30-year-old was busted by a DEA task force at the Gansevoort Hotel—and it turned out he was holding around a half-a-pound of crystal meth. They also believe he already sold $18,000 worth (it goes for $80/gram). This isn't the first time Douglas has been busted, either; in 2007 he was charged "with felony possession of a controlled substance after cops found a syringe with liquid cocaine in a car he was in."

Can't this piece of shit just crash his sports car into a Starbucks that closed an hour before the incident?

Perfect Hollywood ending!

TT

talk about art imitating life.

remember the movie "It Runs in the Family"? the 3 generations of Douglas' were in it.

he got busted for pot and dad bailed him out of jail.

With Federal minimum mandatory sentencing, he'll be doing about ten years. Ouch!

Correction: With Federal minimum mandatory sentencing, he'd be looking at about ten years if he weren't the son of a celebrity millionaire.

This shit doesn't make any sense. Dude is heir to millions of dollars, can boink any chick he wants in h-wood with the "my dad's Michael douglas, he's a producer" line doesn't have to work for the rest of his life and is basically set and dude does drugs that people with 2 teeth in overalls in the hills of virginia do. I guess there is something to be said about ironic karma but what? If I were michael douglas I'd be ashamed that he's not doing cocaine.

When are born with everything given to you, everyday life gets boring. The women, the traveling, everything had no meaning.

Why do you think that guy who owns Virgin wants to go into space...he already has everything he needs on Earth!

Eric Wareheim?

Meth? I thought NY was classier then that! If you're going to do drugs at least do what other New Yorkers do.....Crack and Cocaine.

And for kiddies, Eeeee.

Remember in Traffic when Michael Douglas played the drug czar and his daughter was a junkie? Makes you think maybe that role wasn't such a stretch... "If there is a war on drugs, then many of our family members are the enemy. And I don't know how you wage war on your own family."

Did the arresting officers sodomize him with a plunger or radio antenna?

Can we please keep meth on the west coast?

whitecastlerock

I agree-keep it in Ocean Beach San Diego. Let the beach people fry their fucking brains out with that shit. Crack is enough

matty

He looks nothing like Catherine Zeta Jones

atmanone

hehe, he isn't her son

Look at the photo again. There is some resemblance in his eyelashes. But then again he kind of looks a bit like Ryan O'Neal when the lighting is from the left side.

"a half-a-pound of crystal meth" Can't an individual carry around a bit for personal enjoyment?

The guy needed some money to tie him over until grandpa dies, give him a break.

What does Spartacus or Issur Danielovitch have to say about this?
