George Michael has been cautioned for cannabis possession after being arrested yesterday (October 1).

Michael was then cautioned and released on police bail pending further inquiries, BBC reports.

A Scotland Yard spokesman explained: “At approximately 3.22am on Sunday morning officers were informed of a staionary vehicle with a driver inside causing an obstruction at traffic lights in Cricklewood Lane near its junction with Hendon Way, NW2.

“Officers arrested a 43-year-old man on suspicion of being unfit to drive and possession of a controlled substance believed to be cannabis.”
