Former Teen Idol Garrett Charged With Heroin Possession (mug shot)
Former Teen Idol Garrett Charged With Heroin Possession
By Richard Winton, Times Staff Writer

Mug shot:


Teen years:

Seventies teen idol Leif Garrett was charged this morning with possession of heroin after his arrest in the Pershing Square subway station over the weekend.

Garrett was due to appear in Los Angeles County Superior Court later today. If convicted, he would be eligible for a diversion program rather than a prison sentence, officials said.

Garrett, 44, was being held without bail because he was also detained on a bench warrant for allegedly violating the terms of his probation for a previous offense, Los Angeles County sheriff's and district attorney's officials said.

The musician-actor, who has a history of drug issues dating from the 1970s, pleaded guilty in March to attempted possession of cocaine-based narcotics and was placed on probation, said Sandi Gibbons, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles district attorney's office, on Tuesday.

10. He might want to change that mug shot into a "rug shot"
Bob Ney won't be needing his after he goes up the river:

13. Oh my! That is one of the worst rugs EVER!
It IS the right color for Leif.
I'd never laid eyes on Ney until now. I could've gone without seeing that rug. It's not as bad as Traficants multi-story hair hat. ;)
