George Michael arrested for drug possession

George Michael was arrested on suspicion of possessing class C drugs after being found slumped over his steering wheel near Hyde Park Corner, and bailed to return next month.

George Michael has been arrested on suspicion of possessing drugs after he was seen slumped over the steering wheel of his car in West London. Police who investigated a call from a member of the public found Michael in his car, allegedly in possession of class C drugs.

They initially arrested him for being unfit to drive as well as for possession, but that charge was dropped after the singer was examined by a doctor. A spokesman for the police told reporters: "We were called by a member of the public to a man seen slumped over the steering wheel of a car on the street close to Hyde Park Corner. A search of the man revealed what was believed to be controlled substances". Michael was bailed but must return to the police station next month.

Michael, of course, has said that he plans to pursue his future career out of the limelight, bored with the celebrity lifestyle.
