Actor Michael Douglas’ grown son, Cameron, appears in Santa Barbara court on drug charges

Michael Douglas’ grown son, Cameron, has been ordered to stand trial on cocaine possession charges.

At a pretrial hearing Thursday, Superior Court Judge Joseph Lodge upheld charges of felony possession of a controlled substance and misdemeanor possession of a hypodermic needle filed against Cameron Morrell Douglas, 28, and a companion, Christopher Lane, 30.

Lodge added a charge of being under the influence of a controlled substance for Douglas, based on the testimony of a Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Deputy.

Both men are scheduled for arraignment Nov. 16.

Deputy James McKarrell, the only witness at the hearing, testified that on July 22, he and another deputy came across Douglas and Lane in a car near a Carpinteria motel and found a syringe on the floorboard with liquid cocaine in it.

The deputy testified that Lane claimed ownership of the syringe, and both men were arrested.

Douglas’ attorney, Juan Huerta, said McKarrell failed to do his job by not testing the two men for sobriety.

Cameron Douglas appeared alongside his father and grandfather Kirk Douglas in the 2003 film “It Runs in the Family.”

Hey, Hollywood,

How many of your spoiled spawn have volunteered for the WOT?

Hmmm - How few would make it through boot...

never mind

Maybe if you narcissistic empty shells spent some time in the real world and gave your kids some real values, they wouldn't be out there flopping around in the Sargasso Sea of vacuous, pretend people...and feel a need for drugs, alcohol, and...

I hope so too, and the desire and discipline within themselves to heed it.

I wouldn't wish the heartache and dangers of addiction on anyone. First thing I thought as I was reading was how sad for them, and for all of those across this country that they represent.
