FAUSTINO'S DRUG CHARGE DROPPED

FAUSTINO'S DRUG CHARGE DROPPED

Former child star DAVID FAUSTINO has had a charge of marijuana possession filed against him dropped, after completing treatment for his drug addiction. The Married with Children actor, 34, was charged with the misdemeanor in May 2007 after he was spotted by Florida police attempting to climb out of a car window while waiting at an intersection in New Smyrna Beach. He had been arguing with his now ex-wife, Andrea, when he was arrested by police for disorderly intoxication and drug possession. The former charge was later dismissed. Now Faustino will not face any charges. Linda Pruitt, spokeswoman for the State Attorney's Office, says, "He successfully completed the deferred prosecution agreement, which included a drug treatment programme." And his lawyer, Mike Rodriguez, insists he was not let off the offence because of his celebrity. He adds, "He received no special treatment from the State Attorney's Office. He did what was asked of him, and he fulfilled all of his conditions."
