The guy who created the
West Wing, an
Emmy Award winning show, Aaron Sorkin, was arrested on a
felony drug possession charge at
Burbank Airport, according to
MSNBC.COM, for possession of some kind of
mushrooms.
Sorkin, who has admitted past problems with substance abuse, was booked at the
Burbank city jail and released on a $10,000
bail bond.
"He was going through a screening checkpoint, and personnel managing the checkpoint decided something was suspicious and needed further investigation," said airport spokesman Victor Gill.
Details on the type of mushrooms allegedly found in Sorkin's suitcase were unavailable (according to MSNBC). Some mushrooms are
hallucinogens (according to MSNBC).
