Potter actor admits drug charge

[xxMATTGxx]

A Harry Potter actor has admitted growing cannabis in his mother's north-west London home.

Jamie Waylett, 19, who plays bully Vincent Crabbe in the film series, pleaded guilty to growing 10 cannabis plants in tents at the Kilburn house.

The court heard police found shots of the plants on Mr Waylett's camera after he was arrested for taking a picture of officers as he and a friend drove past.

He is due to re-appear before City of Westminster magistrates on 21 July.

Chief magistrate Timothy Workman

The images found on the camera led police to search Mr Waylett's mother's home where they found the 10 cannabis plants.

Officers had previously searched the car belonging to his friend, John Innis, 20.

There they discovered a knife and eight bags of cannabis, and later found another three bags of cannabis in Mr Innis's possession.

During the hearing, Mr Innis, from Barnet, north London, admitted possession of a knife and having 11 bags of cannabis.

The title does say "potter actor" :S.

Suggests it was Potter, though I can see how it also means the film.

It's so in character with Crabbe though, which makes it funny

Oh noes - this kinda exemplifys the problem with a lot of the new laws. I mean, he was arrested for taking pictures of a police officer... Doing so is NOT a crime, even now. Its perfectly legal. But he got arrested, his camera and car searched and no one questions this ***?

And all for a bag of a drug thats far less addictive and far less dangerous than alcohol or cigarettes +hasn't accounted for a single death - ever.

Yet we spend millions and millions on enforcing these kinds of pointless laws and wonder why are prisons are full and the police force needs so much funding...
