Stranger Things star Charlie Heaton deported from US after 'cocaine bust' - Sensationalist Headlines

[QUOTE][URL="http://www.independent.co.uk/topic/stranger-things"]Stranger Things [/URL]actor Charlie Heaton has been denied entry to the United States after traces of cocaine were found in his luggage.The British actor — who plays Jonathan Byers on the Netflix show — was due to attend the show’s season two premiere in Los Angeles. According to [I][URL="https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/4785720/stranger-things-charlie-heaton-netflix-deported-coke/"]The Sun[/URL][/I], sniffer dogs at LAX airport caught the 23-year-old, border officials finding a “very small amount” of a white powder on his person. After the substance tested positive for cocaine, Heaton was allegedly flown back to the UK, missing the large [I]Stranger Things 2[/I] party. “He was not arrested,” a source told the paper. “He was held at the airport for a while and then put back on a plane to London that night.” Due to the amount being for personal use, Heaton was reportedly sent back to the UK rather than being charged in the US. Whether he will be able to return to the country remains unknown. US Customs and Border Protection has since confirmed the news, a spokesperson telling[I][URL="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/stranger-things-star-charlie-heaton-detained-at-lax-cocaine-possession-1052716?utm_source=twitter"] The Hollywood Reporter[/URL][/I]: "Foreign nationals may be inadmissible due to the commission of a crime involving drug possession. CBP officers treat all international travellers with integrity, respect and professionalism while keeping the highest standards of security." Law enforcement reportedly confirmed the substance was cocaine and the actor admitted to consuming the drug. A spokesperson for the actor said: “I have no comment to make.” Netflix would not comment on the situation, nor whether Heaton will be able to return for further seasons of[I] Stranger Things[/I].[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/stranger-things-charlie-heaton-deported-us-cocaine-season-3-a8024526.html[/url] Goddammit I still want my season 3 He's lucky US is lenient, he could had gotten the death penalty in Asia

How to ruin your acting career and life in one fell swoop.

That dude kinda did look like an addict :v:

Guess who won't be in season 3.

[QUOTE=V12US;52832810]Guess who won't be in season 3.[/QUOTE] I don't think so, shit like this happens all the time with actors, if anything they will probably give him a big fine for it. If he does it again and doesn't get help for it, he will then likely be taken off the show for good. We'll see what happens, in general this whole situation just sucks for everyone and his ass should have known better to mess with that shit and try to bring it over to the US

come on man, is coke that hard to get in the states that you'd try to smuggle it through airport security? we don't even have a big beautiful wall covering our southern border to prevent it from being smuggled from cuba yet.

I'm just curious if it's something he only recently got in to, like a post fame kind of thing that happens to many who are thrust in to the spotlight, or if its a long-running thing. Especially if its something recent, that's really hard to blame him for because you get dropped in to a world so different from what you've known before and there is so much social pressure to do this kind of shit. Its a massive system shock that can cause you to do a lot of stupid shit.

He could have just been sniffed out by a drug dog or something.

[QUOTE=Noss;52833126]I'm sorry but taking some coke isn't as big a deal as you're making it out to be.[/QUOTE] Taking isnt pretty much all of Hollywood is fueled by it. But getting caught with it and making headlines, not great for your career unless you just want publicity.

Why wouldnt he have just waited until he got to LA the place is practically made of cocain.

[QUOTE=AWarmMoose;52833341]Why wouldnt he have just waited until he got to LA the place is practically made of cocain.[/QUOTE] From the description I'd assume the most likely scenario is that he'd forgotten about an empty baggy in his pocket or luggage.

More like Stranger Ching. Amirite.

[QUOTE=Zang-Pog;52833420]You could have traces of it on the clothes you wore when you were powdering your nose, it doesn't even have to be something major like an empty container of it[/QUOTE] The article says that the amount on him was deemed "to be for personal use", which I doubt they would've said if it had been "just traces"

How does someone addicted to coke leave traces behind lol

[QUOTE=ridinmybike;52833759]How does someone addicted to coke leave traces behind lol[/QUOTE] Turns out powdery substances are messy?

[QUOTE=ridinmybike;52833759]How does someone addicted to coke leave traces behind lol[/QUOTE] sometimes when i eat pasta with bolognese, i end up with a saucey mouth if i were a coke user, i imagine the outcome would be similar, except i'd have a cokey nose instead of mouth

Isn't Stranger Things filmed in Canada anyway? [editline]29th October 2017[/editline] Never mind, it's in Atlanta.

Why are you saying that like a lack of a physical wall means that NOTHING is put in place against drug trade? I genuinely can't tell if you're trolling or not [editline]29th October 2017[/editline] Fun fact. Gaten?

Actors dont just get into it because they're around other people that can afford it.

I mean tbh he looks like he's done some sort of drugs.

I think some people here don't realise how common coke actually is, and the stuff sticks around in your bloodstream and traces can be on your clothes. I think there was a news article about a large percentage of banknotes in circulation having some cocaine residue on them. Last time I was on holidays my clothes and my bag got swabbed both on the flight out and the flight home,. I mean, I was clean, but it could happen to anyone really.

What a coincidence a couple days ago a few of my coworkers were talking about how this actor looks like a meth head I didn't catch all the details why they thought this, but I remember the phrase "skeletor face".

Cocaine consumers are driving the market and the violence, death, and poverty that comes with it. The war on drugs doesn't help either, but saying taking some coke isn't a big deal is idiotic.

[QUOTE=ridinmybike;52833759]How does someone addicted to coke leave traces behind lol[/QUOTE] You can do coke for years without ever getting addicted. I doubt he was addicted, and I doubt he even knew it was on him. The coke was probably just left in a jacket pocket or in his wallet after a night out then forgotten about.

I doubt pharma corporations would start shooting at each other if they could produce cocaine.

[QUOTE=Noss;52834639]This is the same blanket logic that PETA uses in regard to meat-eaters.[/QUOTE] It's basic economics. The same way scientists say one of the best things an individual could do for the environment is change their diet. I also acknowledge that the war on drugs have an impact as well (way more impact, but still doesn't take away from the consumers contribution), which is a lot more nuanced than your PETA argument. [QUOTE=Llamalord;52834645]The global war on drugs is the only reason the drug trade is violent..? I doubt pharma corporations would start shooting at each other if they could produce cocaine.[/QUOTE] Only reason? Not likely. But it's definitely a major reason. You're right if it was regulated it would give consumers a safer and likely more ethical option.

[QUOTE=Noss;52834639]This is the same blanket logic that PETA uses in regard to meat-eaters.[/QUOTE] probably because paying money into an industry is directly supporting it and therefore all the things it brings? so yeah, you could call it blanket logic or just basic logic I guess

I am saying that we shouldn't be blaming the users of the drug for the crimes involved in manufacturing and distributing it any more than we should be blaming people who shop at Primark for the deaths of Bangladeshi factory workers, or meat-eaters for the rampant abuse of animals in much of the meat industry.
