Downey Had Cocaine in System, Police Say
From Times Staff Reports
Actor Robert Downey had cocaine in his system at the time of his arrest last month, police said Thursday.
Lt. Dave Tankenson of the Culver City Police Department said a voluntary urine test Downey took the day of his arrest April 24 showed traces of the drug that has gotten him in trouble in the past.
Tankenson said the case will be submitted to the district attorney’s office, with allegations that Downey was under the influence of a controlled substance when he was arrested.
Downey is due in court next Tuesday.
