George Michael

George Michael was in court today following his arrest on July 4th after crashing his Range Rover into a shop front while under the influence of drugs.

The 47-year-old singer was found slumped at the wheel of his vehicle following the crash when police arrived in the early hours of the morning, with the engine of his car still running.

Following his arrest, the former Wham singer was taken to Hampstead police station where he was also found to be carrying cannabis.  After a blood test was taken he was found to also have cannabis in his system but no alcohol, he was bailed and charged.  This morning at the hearing, Michael received an interim six-month driving ban and will be sentenced at a later date.

It’s about time, this is the fifth time that the singer has been caught following improper driving.  In February 2006 he was found asleep at the wheel of his car in possession of a class C drug.  In April of the same year he allegedly crashed into three parked cars but was not charged.  In October 2006 he was banned from driving for two-years after again being found slumped at the wheel and in possession of cannabis.  In 2009, he was arrested after crashing into the back of a lorry whilst under the influence on the A34, although no action was taken.

The star has also been charged twice for incidents in public toilets, firstly in 1998 when he was arrested for engaging in a lewd act and again in 2009 after being arrested for possession of Class A & C drugs in a public toilet in Hampstead Heath.
