George Michael arrested

George Michael arrested


GEORGE MICHAEL has been arrested on suspicion of drug-driving.

The singer was detained by police after crashing his car into the back of a lorry while allegedly doing over 100mph.

Motorists who witnessed the accident on the A34 road in Berkshire, England, yesterday, said they feared the 46-year-old singer was dead as he sat dazed in the vehicle for ten minutes.

The lorry driver, Lawrie Rowe, said Michael, who only recently got his driving licence back after a two-year ban for drug-driving in 2007, was speeding.

He said: "He must have been doing 100mph. When he got out he couldn't walk straight."

Michael, who wrote off his Land Rover in the accident, was arrested at the scene and taken to a nearby police station, where he was questioned for five hours before finally being released without charge.

A police spokeswoman said: "The driver of the Land Rover, a 46-year-old man, was arrested at the scene and taken into police custody. He was later released without charge."

In February 2006, Michael was cautioned for drug possession after sleeping at the wheel of his car.

Two months later he hit three parked cars outside his London home and in May 2006 he crashed his car after again falling asleep at the wheel while listening to his iPod.

That same year, in October, he was arrested after police found him unconscious in his vehicle at a junction in London.

He was banned from driving for two years after pleading guilty to driving while unfit through drugs.
