Los Angeles, August 4:Cameron Douglas, the actor son of 'Wall Street' star Michael Douglas, is in legal trouble again. Cameron has been arrested in New York on a drug distribution charge, according to several tabloid reports.

Cameron in hot soup again
The AP reports that the 30-year-old son of Oscar-winning actor Michael Douglas was arrested July 28 on a methamphetamine-dealing charge at the Hotel Gansevoort in Manhattan.
According to TMZ, Cameron was nabbed at the Gansevoort Hotel in Manhattan's stylish Meat-Packing District during an undercover drug bust by a DEA task force.
It has been reported that Cameron had a half-pound of the hard drug, which costs about $80 a gram on the streets. That means Cameron was carrying more than 18,000 dollars worth of the drug with him at the time of arrest.
It's not Cameron’s first brush with the law. Back in 2007, he was arrested in California on cocaine possession charges. At that time he was charged with felony possession of a controlled substance after cops found a syringe with liquid cocaine in a car he was in.
The celebrity Website reports that the actor was taken into custody by federal authorities on Monday (Aug. 3) and that he still remains in custody.
Neither Michael Douglas’ publicist and agent nor hotel commented on the actor’s arrest.
