George Michael cautioned by police

George Michael has been cautioned by police after he was found in possession of illegal marijuana.

The singer was reportedly found by police slumped over the wheel of his car in London, and was taken into custody after a search of the car turned up cannabis and another drug.

After the arrest Michael apparently did not deny it, commenting: "It's my own stupid fault, as usual.

I was in possession of Class C drugs, which is an offence, and I have no complaints about the police, who were professional throughout.”

He received a formal caution from the police at Belgravia police station for being in possession of cannabis, though the second drug which was initially thought to have been liquid ecstasy turned out to be legal poppers.
