OKLAHOMA CITY - Former child star Macaulay Culkin (news) was arrested on drug charges Friday during a traffic stop, authorities said. The 24-year-old actor, best known for his role in the "Home Alone" movies, was taken into custody on complaints of possession of a controlled dangerous substance without a valid prescription and possession of marijuana, according to the Oklahoma County Sheriff's office.

Culkin, who lives in New York City, was booked into the Oklahoma County Jail and released after posting $4,000 bond, a jailer said.
Authorities confiscated about 17 grams of marijuana from a vehicle in which Culkin was a passenger. Officers also found 16 milligrams of prescription medications used to control anxiety and seizures, according to a police report.

1. END THE WAR ON DRUGS !!!!!

It is so ridiculous. You don't wage war on a substance, you wage war on people. We have 5% of the world's population, yet 90% of the world's prisons. :wtf:

2. I guess Michael Alig was a bad influence on him

at least he wasn't doing Special K - nasty stuff.

3. a little treatment, and he'll be ready for much more serious roles as a

troubled young man... this should help his career.

what would rush and bush do? birds of a feather... never thought of that. no wonder bush is so comfy going on rush's show.

12. These things happen in 3s, you know

14. But Rush can do this without a probem.

17 grams?? 16milligrams?? BFD! A total waste of everyone's time and money.

[reggaehead]

15. !7 grams and 16mG

He's habitual. you could see it when he attached the charcoal lighter to the doorknob. Only Jerry can save him now. But he's up to his ears trying to keep Tony Blair from facing the same fate as GW Bush. Tony should sing

16. HA....
