Former teen idol Leif Garrett was found in possession of heroin earlier this week. That’s generally not a positive thing from a legal or health standpoint.
Leif was popped Monday morning in Los Angeles for possession of a controlled substance. Police caught him at the Metrolink station in downtown L.A.
Garrett was taken into custody and placed behind bars.
Leif Garrett wasn’t released until this morning.
According to reports, the 49-year-old was carrying black tar heroin in his shoe when he was arrested. Cops saw him shaking and sweating profusely at the time.
They asked if they could perform a search of his person. At first, Garrett said he didn’t have anything on him, but then later admitted he had heroin in his shoe.
Cops seized the drugs and arrested Garrett on the spot, before transporting him to a nearby jail where he stayed behind bars until just a couple of hours ago.
Garrett was released on $10,000 bail and is due back in court February 24.
