Oklahoma cops pop "Home Alone" star for pot, pill possession

SEPTEMBER 17--In a week that has already included news about the arrests of former child stars Tracey Gold and Edward Furlong, comes word from Oklahoma that Macaulay Culkin was popped this afternoon on drug charges. The 24-year-old actor, best known for starring in the "Home Alone" movies, was nabbed for possession of marijuana and a "controlled dangerous substance" for which he did not have a prescription. A bleary-eyed Culkin is pictured below in an Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office mug shot. Arrested following a traffic stop, Culkin was jailed on $4,000 bond.

Why was Edward Furlong arrested?

Why are we still busting people for pot
Hard stuff I can understand but pot is a joke
Treat it like booze

[awelliott]

He was trying to set lobsters free in a grocery store in Kentucky. No kidding.......

Edward Furlong's Lobster Tale

Boozed-up actor busted in apparent crustacean liberation bid

SEPTEMBER 17--Meet Edward Furlong. The 27-year-old actor was arrested Wednesday night for public intoxication following a bizarre incident--complete with lobsters!--at a Kentucky grocery store. According to this Florence Police Department report, Furlong, who starred in "Terminator 2," and some pals were in a Meijer store getting rowdy and yanking lobsters out of the chain store's tank. When police arrived, an unsteady Furlong, who smelled of booze, began to "turn around in circles" when an officer tried to frisk him. It is unclear whether Furlong--a PETA/animal rights activist--was trying to free the incarcerated crustaceans. Furlong, in town shooting a movie, spent a few hours in custody before making bail on the misdemeanor count. (2 pages)

Apparently they did. He was arrested after a traffic stop.

I guess he won't be 'Alone' for long.

Macaulay Culkin...party boy, failed actor, LP candidate for the U.S. Senate.

Dude if I did sleepovers at Michael Jacksons house like this Calkin guy did, I'd be on drugs too

Looks like that T2 money did him a lot of good. About 80 pounds worth.

I watched him is some movie, in which he killed for drugs.

"I guess he won't be 'Alone' for long."

This is not from personal experience, mind you, but I have a sneaking suspicion that the residents of an Oklahoma ( or any other) drunk tank will probably not have a lot of patience or compassion for a spoiled and overhyped child actor whose most famous recent headlines involved suing his parents, as I recall.

His army of lawyers will have him out before the ink on the arrest paperwork is dry, unfortunately. Spending a few days in that environment might have benefitted his life in numerous ways.

I have no dount that Oprah will be first in line asking him to be on her show, where she and the studio audience will spend the entire time crying and ultimately blaming George Bush.

Looks like he'll be "home alone" in da big house.

Do you think that upon his release "the gloved one" will escort him from the jail premesis in a glittering and highly public show of solidarity?

If Danny Bonaduce can ressurect his career, this twit certainly can.

Bonaduce might have had more talent as an actor, however.

""Who stole my stash?!!!!!!""

ROTFLMAO!!

The "Home Alone" series how now achieved instant cult status as the movies of choice for midnight pot parties.
