The star found with two class C substances.George Michael was arrested yesterday on suspicion of possessing drugs after a member of the public spotted him slumped over the wheel of his car.
Police were called in the early hours of Sunday morning (February 26) to Hyde Park corner, where 42-year-old Michael was initially arrested for being unfit to drive. However the charge was dropped after being examined by paramedics and a doctor.
Police instead nailed two counts of possessing class C drugs - reportedly cannabis and GHB (liquid ecstasy) - to the pop star before releasing him on bail, reports the Sun newspaper.
"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 spokesman said. "An ambulance attended, but the man was not suffering from any injuries so was not conveyed to hospital."
"Police attended and spoke to the man, aged 42. A search of the man revealed what was believed to be controlled substances. He was arrested on suspicion of possession of controlled substances of category C and on suspicion of being unfit to drive.
"Following an examination by the duty doctor in the custody suite he was de-arrested for the driving offence. He has been released on bail to return to a central London police station on a date in late March pending analysis of the substances recovered."
