Former child star Leif Garrett was stopped in Los Angeles over the weekend for not having a valid ticket to ride the subway. And, oh yes, possession of heroin too.
Garrett, a drug addict, was put on probation last March after pleading guilty to attempted possession of cocaine-based narcotics, and this latest charge, his third since 2001, violates his probation.
In the police report, the 44-year-old Garrett was stopped on Saturday around 6 p.m. by sheriff's deputies in the Pershing Square subway station after it was found that he could not produce a ticket to ride the system. I know this is a shock to all Americans. Who knew Los Angeles had a subway system? Where the hell does it go?
He was subsequently searched and allegedly found to be possessing narcotics, authorities said. He's been charge with heroin possession and fare evasion.
Garrett sang or something back in the 70s and was a huge star. Read more about his sad demise at www.nydailynew.com.
