Leif Garrett Charged With Heroin Possession

Shut up, really?

Seventies teen idol Leif Garrett was charged this morning with possession of heroin after his arrest in the Pershing Square subway station over the weekend.

Garrett was due to appear in Los Angeles County Superior Court later today. If convicted, he would be eligible for a diversion program rather than a prison sentence, officials said.

Garrett, 44, was being held without bail because he was also detained on a bench warrant for allegedly violating the terms of his probation for a previous offense, Los Angeles County sheriff's and district attorney's officials said.

The musician-actor, who has a history of drug issues dating from the 1970s, pleaded guilty in March to attempted possession of cocaine-based narcotics and was placed on probation, said Sandi Gibbons, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles district attorney's office, on Tuesday.

Don't do drugs, kids.

Although, really, he wasn't all that when he was a kid, either. Never got the attraction. I mean, sure he was hot, but not Sean Cassidy hot, you know?

Thanks to... well, their name is their email, so I'm not sure I should say. You know who you are. Love ya.
