MICHAEL DOUGLAS SON SENTENCED TO 5 YRS
Hollywood superstar Michael Douglas son Cameron, has been sentenced to five years in prison on drug charges. Cameron faced a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years behind bars after he was arrested in August following drugs raid on his room at a New York City hotel. He pleaded guilty to one count of methamphetamine possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance and one count of possession of heroin in January. Reports suggest the It Runs In The Family star had been plotting to move approximately $18,000 worth of crystal meth from California to New York to sell when an undercover informant alerted the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). In a letter urging the judge in the case to be lenient when sentencing his son, Michael Douglas called Cameron "a loving man" and "a thoughtful friend". Cameron’s stepmother Catherine Zeta-Jones and grandfather Kirk Douglas also sent letters to Manhattan’s Federal Court in New York City hoping for of a reduced sentence. Michael Douglas’ letter was originally kept private, but a judge last week ruled that it should be made public.
