Michael Douglas' Son Busted For Meth

Michael Douglas' son has been busted for holding a massive stash of Meth with intent to sell, police sources confirmed Monday evening.

Feds arrested 30-year-old Cameron Douglas last week after an undercover cop allegedly found half-a-pound of the toxic substance on Douglas at Manhattan's swanky Hotel Gansevoort last week, according to reports.

Police confirmed to The Associated Press that the son of Oscar-winning actor Michael Douglas had been arrested for meth dealing on July 28. But there were conflicting reports on whether he also was holding $18,000 cash at the time of the sting, or if that number represented the street value of the drug he was allegedly caught with.

Cameron Douglas has acted in movies including 2003's "It Runs in the Family," starring his father and grandfather Kirk Douglas.

In 2007, Douglas was arrested on cocaine possession charges. His lawyer said then the arresting officer did not do his job properly, according to the AP.

There's no telephone listing for him. It's unclear whether he has a new attorney.

Michael Douglas' publicist and agent haven't returned calls.

The hotel says it has no comment.

Why was he dealing it? Did he need the money?

He should be locked up for a long time.

Ryan O’Neal is a much better father...he got busted WITH his son.

(Of course he hits on his own daughter as well.)

So, do we have to post pictures of Maureen Dowd on this thread?

Tragic actually.
Meth reduces even kids/younbg people who have every privilege in life to the status of human sewer rats.
Maybe Dad shouid regret hiring that high priced lawyer who got him off that 2007 cocaine charge instead of letting him face consequences

Meth? The trailer-trash stuff that makes you ugly? You’d think he could afford coke like any other decent Hollywood kid.

Lessee, he was doing “research” for an upcoming movie role in which he appears with his dad, right??

We’ll see if there is justice for them and justice for us, or if there really is justice for all of us.

I’m betting he gets a light sentence.

Yes, it always makes us feel superior to revel in what happens to other people's children. That is why this thread was started, wasn't it? This is NEWS???

I guess your children are all perfect, and your family has no crazy uncles.

Did I need the / sarcasm tag?,/i>

About 30 years ago, you could have seen the headline, “Kirk Douglas’ son busted for bad acting.” (I like Michael’s later films, BTW).

The real irony is Cameron’s father and step mother, CZJ, both starred in that movie.

"Ryan O’Neal is a much better father...he got busted WITH his son."

LOL...it's like the old adage, "A friend will come to the jail to bail you out. A good friend will be sitting in the cell next to you."
