>>>>> Poor George Michael. Just weeks after completing his first world tour in
>>>>> fifteen years, the singer was busted in a London public bathroom for
>>>>> drug possession. The police report doesn't name Michael, but sources
>>>>> confirmed to the British press that he was busted Friday for crack
>>>>> possession after a suspicious bathroom attendant tipped off the cops.
>>>>> This comes after his famous 1998 arrest by an undercover officer for
>>>>> lewd conduct in a Beverly Hills bathroom, and his 2006 adventure when he
>>>>> plead guilty to driving under the influence of drugs after being found
>>>>> slumped over the wheel of his car and was forbidden to drive for two
>>>>> years. This time, the law is taking it easy on the former Wham front
>>>>> man.
>>>>>
>>>>> The singer was taken to a police station and given the caution for
>>>>> possessing class A and class C drugs.
>>>>>
>>>>> Home Office Minister Tony McNulty said drug laws needed to be
>>>>> "flexible".
>>>>>
>>>>> Asked why Michael had been given a relatively mild punishment for
>>>>> the possession of class A drugs, Mr McNulty said he did not know the
>>>>> details of the case [...]
>>>>>
>>>>> But he added that the law provides a wide range of punishments for
>>>>> possession of drugs, and "circumstances and context" had to be applied.
>>>>>
>>>>> The Home Office website says possession of class A drugs can result
>>>>> in up to seven years in prison, an unlimited fine or both.
>>>>>
>>>>> Mr McNulty told the BBC: "The biggest message is that drugs are
>>>>> wrong and people will be punished, but it must be right that there is
>>>>> flexiblity in the law."
>>>>>
>>>>> But the government has the balance "about right" between being tough
>>>>> when it needs to be and providing treatment for individuals "to get off
>>>>> that horrible spiral of drug dependancy and crime", he added.
