Arrest Warrant Issued for Actor Corey Feldman

An arrest warrant was issued Thursday for actor Corey Feldman, who failed to appear in court for one of his two heroin cases because he has enrolled in a live-in drug rehabilitation program.

Superior Court Judge Gordon Ringer held the bench warrant until Oct. 31, when Feldman, 19, is to again appear in court. Feldman, the star of such movies as “Stand by Me,” “The Goonies” and “The Lost Boys,” will not be arrested unless he fails to show up then.

His lawyer, Richard Hirsch, said Feldman did not appear for Thursday’s pretrial hearing because he has enrolled in the 30-day live-in program.

Feldman enrolled in the program after his arrest last week during which police in North Hollywood found packets of heroin in his socks while the actor was sitting in a car whose rear window was smashed. Feldman is to be arraigned Monday on a heroin charge stemming from that arrest.
