Cameron Douglas, 30, was arrested on a methamphetamine-dealing charge on July 28 at the Hotel Ganservoort, law enforcement officials told the AP. New York police said the investigation is being handled by the Drug Enforcement Administration. TVGuide.com's calls to the DEA were not immediately returned.
Cameron Douglas, who acted alongside his father and grandfather, Kirk Douglas, in 2003's It Runs in the Family, was also arrested in 2007 for cocaine possession in California.
According to TMZ, he's been shifting "pounds" of Crystal Meth since 2006. That's quite the dubious upgrade from being found with a syringe of liquid cocaine.
TMZ reports: "According to his federal complaint filed in New York, DEA agents claim they ran a 3-year investigation, proving the 30-year-old actor sold "multiple pounds" of crystal meth to several people - many of whom are now cooperating in the prosecution of Douglas. All three witnesses mentioned in the document have pled guilty to narcotics violations. They are cooperating in the hopes of receiving a reduced sentence. Douglas has been charged with one count of possession with the intent to distribute 500 grams or more of crystal meth and one count of possession with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of "Ice" - which is the purest form of meth... According to the indictment, Douglas was set up in New York after agents ran a sting operation - in which they caught Douglas accepting $15,000 in cash in exchange for a promise to deliver a half pound of crystal meth.
