Cameron Douglas Drags Girlfriend Into Drug Debacle

Cameron Douglas is addicted to drugs... well, addicted to trafficking them! The 30-year-old son of Michael Douglas, and his first wife Diandra Luker, was recently busted for dealing crystal meth, and now his girlfriend is joining the club. The NY Post reports that Kelly Sott "was arrested after she tried to smuggle to him 10 bags of heroin—hidden in an electric toothbrush—right in front of prosecutors who are investigating him for drug trafficking." Douglas was in a meeting with the officials in Manhattan yesterday when he asked if he could call his girl to run an errand. Soon enough she was there with the toothbrush, which of course the officials were suspicious of and checked, and now she's being held without bail. Her lawyer said she's in need of treatment for a medical condition: "heroin addiction and hypertension."

"I got it all arranged Karen. I just need you to keep bringing me this stuff."

How do you fit 10 (NYPost actually says 19) bags of heroin in a toothbrush?

Now the girlfriend is arrested also. Do any of these slackers have real jobs where they pay taxes like the rest of us?

OK, so either you have never seen a glassine bag, or you have never seen an electric toothbrush. Don't know which, but just saying.

Apparently I need to purchase a new electric toothbush.

You store them in the battery cavity. Balloons of heroin are not very large at all. I doubt they have real jobs, but I promise you they pay capital gains, property, and sales tax, in addition to income tax on their allowances, which are probably distributed through shell companies so they can have cheaper health insurance and attorneys.

Now I feel a little bit chastised.

Are you their attorney?

CogInSystem

I wish! Do you know how many billable hours these adult children must provide.

Did they hand him his toothbrush afterward? It's important to brush regularly.

I blame Catherine Zeta Jones.

What a scumbag, throw him in jail and lock the key away, totally spoiled by power, fame and money...

JohnnyOrchestra

But then what do we do with the key that we use to lock up the first key?

Mr Mel

Legalize this stuff and we wouldn't have to be subjected to this nonsense.

Have Grandpa Kirk slap him around a bit.

virgilstarkwell

to be fair, i think this speaks less about stupidity and more about the power of addiction and desperation... and how the sickness makes irrational thoughts and plans seem quite sensible.

He was out on bail, but still thought the best time and place for her to make that delivery was at a meeting with prosecutors? Why not just meet for dinner or something later?

Dumb and dumber.
