George home 'had 13 cocaine bags'

Thirteen bags of cocaine were allegedly found in Boy George's New York home when he was arrested, papers released by Manhattan's district attorney show.

The singer was charged with possession of drugs on Friday and faces up to 15 years in prison if found guilty.

His lawyer, Lou Freeman, previously said a "small amount" of drugs was found at Boy George's apartment.

Mr Freeman said the star, who must attend a Manhattan court in December, did not know who owned the cocaine.

"He's a very social person. He has a lot of people over to his apartment," Mr Freeman added.

'Sizeable amount'

Boy George, whose real name is George O'Dowd, called police on Friday to report a burglary.

Officers allegedly found drugs next to a computer in his apartment.

Substances found in the 13 plastic bags weighed more than one-eighth of an ounce (3.5g) in total, the legal papers stated.

"That is a sizeable amount of drugs," said Maggie Gandasegui from Manhattan's Special Narcotics Prosecutors office.

O'Dowd, 44, faces one charge of drug possession and a charge of falsely reporting an incident. He returned to London on Sunday following his release.

After attaining global success as a member of pop group Culture Club, Boy George became addicted to heroin but kicked the habit to become a solo artist and DJ.

His autobiographical musical Taboo became a hit in London but closed after less than three months on Broadway.
 
13 bags, thats possesion w/intent he will get out of it though..this story sounds fishy anyways I mean damn he called the cops amped on coke and the leaves some by the computer(probally on bluelight)...the claims to have had people over so part of his defence can be that it wasnt his....if this was anyother person probally sent away for awhile...
 
Oh man, he's off the wagon, he's REALLY bad when he's on coke, ruined just about every relationship with everyone he ever knew on coke binges :(

You know him Morrison?

Haha, no, I just saw this documentary on him once when I was really coked out and it captivated my attention. He was talking about the insane tantrums he was throwing over the slightest thing, how he'd boss his friends around and scream at them if they brought him the wrong shoes, didn't bring enough coke or just basically for existing in his presence.

He went through all his friends in a couple of years, then over the next few years an entourage of 100 people or so all in all, because everyone was leaving after a few weeks to be replaced by someone else.

He went into a lot of detail about his coke abuse and his behaviour and at the end you really had to agree with him that he was the biggest asshole on the face of the planet when he was on coke.

Hahaha... how do you know that? Idont doubt you, just curious.

Ahhhh... nevermind.
 
What the fuck kinda of drugs is he buying that he needs to buy 13 bags of cocaine.
3.5g isn't shit.
15 year for an eight ball, I'ld be pissed.
 
So does anyone know why the fuck he called the cops?? making a false statement, hence there was no real break in, he must have been well outa his mind im assuming
 
(0.25)g.s is more like 5 lines (if you don't get fucked by your dealer.) If you need 250mgs of cocaine to enjoy it, first you may have a pretty high tolerance (using everyday?); second you may be getting talcum powder instead of coke; third you may be a wannabe who tries to prove something, which nobody is interested in; finally you may be stupid enough not to understand that you are high.
 
he was suposed to be at a night club the next night in provi it was rumored he was all tweked out callin the cops but who knows
