Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince hits US theaters on July 15th, but one of the actors in the movie won’t be celebrating too much. Seems Jamie Waylett, an actor in the Harry Potter films, got caught growing the old wacky tobacky. According to The Telegraph:
The 19 year-old, who plays Hogwarts bully Vincent Crabbe, will appear in court later this month accused of growing ten cannabis plants.
He was first arrested in April after cops stopped his Audi car in Westminster, central London, and allegedly found eight bags of the Class B drug.
The actor, who has appeared as a tubby villain in all six of the smash hit Harry Potter films, and a 19-year-old friend were taken to a nearby police station.
After questioning, a team of officers raided his mother’s three-storey home in Camden, north London, several hours later.
It is alleged further drugs were found at the home.
Waylett was bailed by police until Tuesday when he found out he would be charged.
A Metropolitan police spokeswoman said: “Jamie Waylett is due to appear at City of Westminster magistrates court later this month.
“He is charged with producing a Class B drug, namely ten plants of cannabis.”
Police allegedly seized at least 10 mature cannabis plants valued at about £2,000, which were growing alongside the young star’s DJ equipment and a games console.
According to Home Office guidelines, the maximum punishment for cannabis production is 14 years in jail.
Those found guilty of possession of the class B drug can face up to five years.
