George Michael Arrested…Again

By: Shannon Gossage

Michael was found "hunched" over the wheel of his BMW while stopped at a traffic light in a North London suburb. The police were called after other drivers tried unsuccessfully to wake the sleeping singer. A spokesperson for Scotland Yard released the following statement, "At approximately 3:22 a.m. on Sunday morning officers were informed of a stationary vehicle with a driver inside causing an obstruction at traffic lights. Officers arrested a 43-year old man on suspicion of being unfit to drive and possession of a controlled substance believed to be cannabis."

Michael failed a Breathalyzer test and a doctor was called to examine Michael who was, according to the police, "completely out of it." The doctor deemed Michael "ill" and he was taken to the Royal Free Hospitable and discharged after two hours. Once released from the hospital he was taken to the police station where he was arrested on a possession charge after the cops found a small bit of marijuana on the singer. He was also charged on suspicion of being unfit to drive under the influence and was then released on bail.

In February, Michael was found in the exact same predicament. He was found "slumped" over the wheel of his car at a traffic light and was given a "caution" after police found cannabis and liquid Ecstasy in his car. Just two months later, he drove his Range Rover into three parked vehicles on a street near his home and drove off. No charges were filed, but he reportedly did approximately $8,000 damage. He said at the time he was a "terrible" driver and was trying to "maneuver out of a parking spot." Michael has said nothing about the this latest arrest and is expected to appear in court on November 20 where it will be determined if he will face charges in the latest incident.
