George Michael
Gets Drug Caution
Singer
George Michael has been cautioned by
police for possessing cannabis following
his arrest in
London's West End in February
2006.
The
42-year-old, who's real name is Georgios
Kyriacos Panayiotou, was found by police
asleep at the wheel of his car in the
early hours of the morning.
He
attended a central London police station
to accept his caution.
At the
time of his arrest, George Michael
admitted the incident had been "my own
stupid fault" and said that police had
acted properly.
"I was
in possession of class C drugs which is an
offence and I have no complaints about the
police who were professional throughout,"
he said at the time.
A member
of public had reported seeing a man
slumped at the wheel of a car near Hyde
Park Corner.
An
ambulance was sent to the scene but
Michael was not taken to hospital for any
treatment.
George
Michael said he had not been drinking and
that police had said he was fit to drive,
however his car had been immobilised so he
was given a lift home.
The
singer, who found fame in 1980s duo Wham!,
was the subject of a high-profile arrest
in 1998 when he was detained by an
undercover police officer for lewd conduct
in a public toilet in Los
Angeles.
