Pop star George Michael has been cautioned by police after being arrested for possession of drugs in a London public toilet, according to reports this morning.
They said Michael (45) was arrested in a public toilet in the north London suburb of Hampstead on Friday afternoon after being found in possession of crack cocaine and cannabis.
A spokesman for the Metropolitan police said: "I can confirm that a 45-year-old man was arrested on September 19th on suspicion of possession of drugs in the Hampstead Heath area.
"He was taken to a north London police station where he received a caution for possession of class A and class C drugs."
Michael's agents and publicists were not immediately available for comment.
The multi-millionaire singer has had several brushes with the law over his recreational drug use. In 2006 he was found slumped over the wheel of his car in London and later admitted driving while unfit due to drugs. He was banned from driving for two years and sentenced to 100 hours of community service.
In an interview on BBC radio last year, he discussed his drug problems, saying he was aware that he smoked too much marijuana and was trying to reduce his consumption.
"In a strange way I've spent the last 15 to 20 years trying to derail my own career, but it never seems to suffer," he said.
"I suffer like crazy. I've suffered bereavements and public humiliations, but my career always seems to right itself like a plastic duck in the bath."
