George Michael Arrested Over Drug Posession

HOLLYWOOD - Pop singer George Michael has been arrested after police caught him in possession of drugs.

The Careless Whisper hitmaker was detained on Friday, September 19, in the Hampstead Heath area of north London, close to his home in Highgate.

The singer was questioned at a nearby police station and later released with a caution for possessing class A and class C drugs--cocaine and cannabis.

A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police says, "We can confirm a 45-year-old man was arrested in the Hampstead heath area on the 19th September on suspicion of possessing drugs saying:

"He was taken to a North London police station where he received a caution and was released with no further action. The caution was for the possession of class A and class C drugs, cocaine and cannabis."

Michael was previously arrested in October 2006 in London, when cops found him slumped over the wheel of his car. And last May he was handed a
two-year driving ban after pleading guilty to driving while unfit through drugs.
