American pop boy and brother of Backstreet Boy Nick, Aaron Carter, was done for marijuana possession last week after being pulled over by cops for speeding. He was found to be in possession of two ounces of the drug after police stopped him for driving 5mph above the speed limit.
A spokesman for the popster told reporters: "On his way to Florida bringing his two dogs to live on a large ranch, Aaron Carter was detained today in Texas by a trooper for exceeding the speed limit by 5 mph. A search revealed a small amount of marijuana, a misdemeanour in this state. He is posting bail and will return to Los Angeles. He sincerely regrets any embarrassment this caused to his family, friends and fans".
Carter's father, meanwhile, said the drugs charge, while relatively minor, had "floored" him. Speaking to People magazine, Bob Carter said: "I'm just totally floored by this. Other people suspected he had a problem, but I denied it and didn't believe it. Now I feel hurt and betrayed, because I see that everything wasn't what I thought it was. Aaron has always thought he was invincible and sometimes it takes a knock in the head to get people back on track. I hope that's what happens here".
