George Michael
Singer George Michael was arrested in London on drug charges after being found slumped at the wheel of his car, according to aBritish tabloid newspaper report.
A passer by contacted police after spotting the 42-year-old singer in his car in central London on Saturday night, the Sun newspaperreported.
Michael was arrested on suspicion of possessing drugs before being bailed to return to a police station next month. He was checked by paramedics but did not need hospital treatment.
A spokesman for London's Metropolitan police, speaking on the customary condition of anonymity in line with force policy, would not confirm if Michael had been arrested, but did say that a 42-year-old man had been arrested on drugs charges after being found at the wheel of a car.
"We were called by a member of the public to a man seen slumpe dover the steering wheel of a car ... Police attended and spoke to theman, aged 42. A search of the man revealed what was believed tobe controlled substances.
He was arrested on suspicion of possession of controlled substances of category C and on suspicion of being unfit to drive. A spokes woman for Michael's agent, Connie Filipello, said, "We have absolutely no comment to make."
In 1998 Michael was arrested for lewd conduct in a public toilet in Los Angeles after being spotted by an undercover police officer.
