Cameron Douglas Learns You Can't Mess With Meth
It looks like the Feds have caught up with Cameron Douglas once again. Cameron is of course the son of actor Michael Douglas and Grandson of Kirk Douglas. Cameron was arrested back in 1999 and not too long ago in 2007 for possession of liquid cocaine. Well I guess that wasn't good enough for Cameron because he has just been busted AGAIN on July 28th for selling meth out of a swanky Manhattan hotel, the Hotel Gansevoort. Through record wire taps and cell phones the DEA learned that Cameron was sending large quantities of meth through Fed Ex and passing them off as bath salts and pastries. How inventive.
NY Daily News reported:
He was busted at a Manhattan hotel last week after allegedly mailing 215 grams of methamphetamine to a post office box in a package addressed to a "Paul Smith."That was a fictitious name used by an informant - one of three the feds nabbed and turned against Douglas. The feds say the Hollywood scion used code words like "pastries" and "bath salts" to discuss meth shipments in secretly recorded calls and texts.
"Did you get a chance to...smell any of the salts or anything like that?" he's quoted as asking an informant.
"The bath salts are fabulous! Thank you so much," the informant later responded.
"Yeah, I thought you would like them, my friend," Douglas replied. "I was so excited for you to take a bath and see for yourself."
The feds also said one informant introduced Douglas to another as a source of "large quantities of crystal meth."
Douglas' rap sheet includes two drug busts, in New York in 1999 and in California in 2007.
Cameron was just dropped from the movie Beautiful Outsiders. He was not only going to act in the movie, but was supposed to produce it as well. This movie will be filming in the UK, which would have made it impossible for Cameron to participate. Besides the fact that he will be busy in court and then oh yeah... serving some sort of sentence. It has been reported that he may get a life sentence. And the crime he committed carries a mandatory ten year sentence. Ummm... Sorry, I am not buying it. His father is Michael freaking Douglas. His Stepmom is Catherine freaking Zeta Jones and his Grandfather is Kirk freaking Douglas. Am I coming through loud and clear? With Cameron's wealthy family ties, I think he will be looking at a couple of months in a cream puff jail, (at best) and a lengthy probation with a few assorted lenient rules to follow. His family has more money than God, and I really don't see him doing any serious jail time. Sadly,we all know that money talks and slaps on the wrist seem to be the route of punishment for the rich and famous. Continued on the next page
