Actor James Waylett, who plays Hogwart student Vincent Crabbe in Harry Potter films, has been arrested, along with his friend, in Central London for possession of drugs.
Sources revealed that police stopped the 19-year-old actor´s car suspecting there was drugs inside. ”The car was searched and officers found eight bags of a substance believed to be cannabis,” a Scotland Yard spokesperson has said. Both Waylett and his friend were detained in a central London police station.
Later, when police raided Waylett´s mother’s home in Camden, north London, they found about 10 cannabis plants worth 2000 pounds. Scotland Yeard declared ”Officers found a number of plants believed to be cannabis plants and equipment for the cultivation. Both men have been bailed until July pending further inquiries and tests on the substances.”
According to legal experts, cannabis is a class B drug and the maximum punishment in Britain for cultivation of the plant is 14 years of imprisonment. Warner Bros., that produces Harry Potter Movies, refused to make any comment on this matter.
Waylett has appeared in all the five films of Harry Potter as the bully Vincent Crabbe, who is the right-hand man to Draco Malfoy. The next Potter film, ´Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince´ is to be released in Britain in July 2009.

How ironic. The kid already looks like a drug addict.
