LOS ANGELES — Former teen idol Leif Garrett was released from jail Wednesday morning after having been arrested for possession of heroin by Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies, authorities said.
Garrett, a former ’70s star with a lengthy history of drug use and arrests, was taken into custody Monday morning after deputies patrolling the Metro subway station discovered he was carrying black tar heroin, said Steve Whitmore, a sheriff’s spokesman. Garrett was about to board a train. “He was sweating and shaking profusely,” Whitmore said.
Garrett, 48, told the deputies he “gets nervous around law enforcement because of his prior experience,” Whitmore said, but then admitted he was hiding heroin in his shoe. Los Angeles Times
