OKLAHOMA CITY (Reuters) - Former child star Macaulay Culkin has been arrested in Oklahoma City on suspicion of possessing marijuana and a controlled substance.

The star best known for his role of the ingenious child who fends off burglars in the "Home Alone" movies, was arrested during a traffic stop on Friday afternoon on a highway in the city.

Culkin, 24, was taken to jail when a police officer said he found the star in possession of 17.3 grams (0.6 ounce) of marijuana and prescription drugs he apparently obtained without a prescription. He was released on $4,000 (2,200 pounds) bail on Friday night, after spending about two hours in jail, the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Department said.

Culkin, who recently starred in the movies "Saved!" and "Party Monster" did not talk to reporters when he left the jail.

According to the arrest report, an Oklahoma City police officer pulled over a car speeding on an interstate. Culkin was a passenger in the car driven by a man from New York.

The officer asked Culkin and the driver to step out of the car after the driver, identified as Brett M. Tabisel, had given the officer permission to search the vehicle. The pair said they were driving from New York to Los Angeles, according to the report.

A search of the car revealed marijuana, the anxiety relieving medication Xanax as well as sleeping pills. The medication was in plastic sandwich bags while some of the marijuana was in a metal cigarette box, the report said.

The officer said the two were cooperative with the search and quickly surrendered the drugs.

Culkin's publicist, Michelle Bega, would not comment on the incident

Ok, no offense but after a movie like "Party Monster" how could we not see this happenning. I mean I always figured he and Seth Green had to be on drugs to sign on for that movie. The movie was horrible, but at least he redeemed himself with "Saved".

Child actors. Its bound to have some psychological effect.

Ugh. No offence but he looks like he is on drugs this isn't a huge suprise.

This isn't really big news. There are tons of celebrities and professional athletes that smoke pot, it's just the majority don't get caught.

I think it's ironic, because I definitely remember reading an interview with him somewhere (probably Entertainment Weekly) where he was talking about how he's pretty much the only child actor who didn't turn out way ****ed up and on drugs and everything. Guess that's down the drain.

JudeNeary

Maybe all child actors has to turn like that when they are not acting as much as they used to do in the past.

Yep that didnt last long

I figure it will be hard to be this famous child star and you wouldnt have had the same normal childhood as the rest of us and then now that your older you dont really get any work, its all gone.

Macauley Culkin still gets a a good amount of work. He's been in 2 movies in he past 1 1/2 years and has another coming out.
