NAMES IN THE NEWS : Britain Fines Perkins Over Pot
Actor Anthony Perkins was fined $310 today for smuggling a small amount of marijuana into Britain.
Perkins, 57, mailed 1.32 grams of marijuana with a street value of about $7 from his Los Angeles home to coincide with his arrival at a hotel in Wales where he was filming, the court was told.
Hotel staff, however, delivered the package to someone else named Perkins who opened it to find a small, aluminum-foil packet containing enough drugs for three or four cannabis cigarettes.
The American actor was arrested by two detectives when he checked in Sunday.
