Boy George
arrested on narcotics charges

Singer Boy George was arrested on suspicion of possessing drugs and making a fake police report after he called 911 early Friday and falsely said his home had been burglarized, police said. The singer, whose real name is George O'Dowd, called police from an apartment in New York City's Little Italy around 3:14 a.m. and reported a burglary, said Det. Kevin Czartoryski, a police spokesman.

Officers arrived on the scene and discovered a small amount of cocaine next to a computer, police said. A woman in the apartment said there was more cocaine around, and police were continuing to investigate. A former spokesman for O'Dowd's autobiographical musical Taboo, which closed last year, said he did not know whether the singer had a spokesman or lawyer. (AP)
