George Michael was discovered hunched over the wheel of his BMW at a traffic light in a North London suburb. Officers were called to the scene by fellow drivers who claimed their attempts at honking and window-banging failed to wake the 43 year-old pop star.
"At approximately 3:22 a.m. on Sunday morning, officers were informed of a stationary vehicle with a driver inside causing an obstruction at traffic lights," a spokesperson for Scotland Yard said without identifying Michael by name, per department policy. "Officers arrested a man on suspicion of being unfit to drive and possession of a controlled substance believed to be cannabis."
According to the Daily Mirror, Michael was engaging in the mid-lane catnap just a mile away from his estate and was on his way home after a night of clubbing.
The tabloid claimed that officers were able to wake Michael at the scene and administered a Breathalyzer test, which he failed. The cops then called a doctor to examine the singer, who was deemed "completely out of it."
"There was a concern a mix of drugs and alcohol may have had a bad effect on him," a spokesperson for London's Metropolitan Police told the paper.
It's the second time this year Michael has unwittingly pulled the roadside sleeping-beauty routine and the third time he's been involved in a traffic violation. I hope next time won't be when I'll go see George Live in concert in November....aaargh!
