Former child star Macaulay Culkin has been arrested in the US on drug-possession charges.
The now 24 year-old actor was held on charges of possessing marijuana and a dangerous controlled substance without a prescription. He and another man were arrested after the car they were travelling in was pulled over in Oklahoma City on Friday.
A report from Oklahoma County Sheriff's office said authorities confiscated about 17 grams of marijuana from a vehicle in which Culkin was a passenger. Officers also found 16 milligrams of prescription medications used to control anxiety and seizures, it said.
Culkin was also allegedly carrying pills, later identified as Xanex and Clonzebam in his pocket, and admitted that he did not have a prescription for them. He was then transported to the Oklahoma County Jail and booked on the state charges of possession of a controlled dangerous substance without a prescription, possession of marijuana, and a municipal charge of possession of marijuana. Both men were later released. Culkin's publicist, Michelle Bega, declined to comment. Culkin was once one of the highest-paid child actors of all time and was best-known for his role in both Home Alone films. He was later released after paying a $4,000 (£2,230) bond.
