George Michael on Drug Arrest: My Own Stupid Fault

George Michael had been arrested for possession of Class C drugs in London.

 


George Michael had been arrested for possession of Class C drugs in London.

George Michael described the incident as "my own stupid fault, as usual."

The founder of super-popular pop band "Wham!" George Michael, 42, was arrested Saturday after he was found nearly collapsing in his car at Hyde Park Corner in London.

"I was in possession of class C drugs which is an offense and I have no complaints about the police who were professional throughout," George Michael said in a statement.

In the UK, drugs are classified into three main categories, known as Class A, B or C. Using or dealing in drugs classified as A attracts the highest penalties, BBC reports. Cannabis, anabolic steroids and tranquillisers such as Valium are Class C drugs, as well as some mild amphetamines. Possession could result in a two year prison sentence.

This was the first time George Michael has been arrested since the infamous public bathroom incident. In 1998 George Michael was arrested by an undercover policeman for "engaging in a lewd act" in a public restroom in a Beverly Hills city park by an. George Michael said at that time "Well, I didn't know he was a cop at the time obviously – he started playing this game. I think it's called 'I'll show you mine, you show me yours...'"

After pleading "no contest" to the charge, George Michael was fined $810 and sentenced to 80 hours of community service.

After that incident, George Michael became open about his homosexuality. George Michael even planned to wed Kenny Goss, his partner for nearly a decade. George Michael has also attended Elton John and partner David Furnish's civil partnership ceremony.

George Michael ranks as Britain's tenth richest musician with an amassed personal fortune said to be between at £65 million to over £100 million. George Michael owns several homes all over the world.

In his recent interview George Michael announced that he don't plan to release any more records on sale to the public. Instead, his music will be available for free download with fans encouraged to make a donation to charity.
