This is your brain on drugs
Veteran rocker David Crosby has been arrested on drug and gun charges at a hotel in New York City where he had been staying during a concert tour. Hotel staff found suspect items in luggage left by the singer after he checked out and alerted police who were waiting when he returned to collect it. The luggage contained marijuana, a .45 handgun and a knife, police said. Just what you need for a fun weekend in the Big Apple. The 62-year-old star, who helped found both The Byrds and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, was later freed on bail. Staff had searched the piece of luggage for identification before Mr Crosby, who played concerts in Manhattan and New Jersey this week, phoned the hotel to say he would be returning to collect it. "Why, yes, Mr. Crosby, we have your bag right here. The suitcase as well." He was met by police when he turned up at 0100 (0600 GMT) on Saturday, fresh from the New Jersey concert, at the Double Tree Suites Hotel in Times Square to pick up the luggage. Easiest arrest of the night. Posted by: Steve 2004-03-08 |
