Michael Douglas is "devastated" by his son's arrest.
What parent wouldn't be? The 64-year-old actor and his former wife Diandra Luker are still trying to come to terms with their son Cameron's arrest for possession of methamphetamines with the intent to distribute.
A statement released by the pair said:

"The family is devastated and very disappointed in Cameron's recent behavior. Any family who has dealt with substance abuse knows how devastating it can be."

That feeling of helplessness is trying. Hopefully, through this arrest Cameron will get clean and understand how necessary it is to remain clean.

Cameron, 30, is being held at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York after he violated the terms of his home detention by asking his girlfriend to smuggle him heroin concealed in an electric toothbrush.

He was initially released on bail and confined to his Manhattan apartment after he was caught allegedly selling drugs at New York's Hotel Gansevoort last month.

A private security company was watching him when his girlfriend Kelly Sott brought him the toothbrush with seven grams of heroin stashed in the battery compartment.

The security guards found the drugs and alerted the authorities who took bought Cameron and Kelly into custody.
Kelly has claimed she didn't know the drugs were hidden in the item.

This is not Cameron's first brush with the law. In 2007, he was arrested in California for possession of a controlled substance when liquid cocaine was discovered in the car he was travelling in.
If he is found guilty of supplying narcotics he faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years in prison and a maximum of life.
