Michael arrested on drug charges
LONDON—George Michael was arrested on suspicion of possessing marijuana
after police found him slumped over the steering wheel of his car in
London, authorities said Monday.
Michael was arrested after police responded to complaints that a car was
blocking an intersection in North London at 3:22 a.m. Sunday. He
received a caution for possession of cannabis and was released on bail
on a charge of being unfit to drive. He has a November court date.
Just a week earlier, Michael gave his first solo concert in 15 years.
The Spain show kicked off his new tour, "25 Live," which is scheduled
for 28 European cities this fall.
Michael rose to fame in the 1980s as half of the duo Wham! before
starting his solo career.
Police had earlier warned Michael for possession of cannabis in
February.
In April, he hit three parked cars. He later acknowledged in an
interview that he was a "terrible driver" and said he was trying to
maneuver out of a parking spot.—Agencies |
