Celebrity Justice
George Michael's Drug Bust: Caught On Tape

Don't let the sun go down on George Michael, because he just may fall asleep at the wheel!

Earlier this month the popstar was arrested on suspicion of marijuana possession after police found him slumped over the steering wheel of his car in London. Michael received a caution for the possession charge and was released on bail on a charge that he was unfit to drive. Michael is due in court in November.

Now TMZ has obtained cell phone footage of that fateful evening. In the video, a police officer and an onlooker can be seen approaching the singer's vehicle. George eventually awakes, rubs his eyes and appears to be in seemingly good spirits.

This is the second time this year George has been found snoozing in his car. In February, police cautioned Michael after finding him slumped over in his BMW and in possession of both cannabis and liquid ecstasy.

Two months later, George fled the scene after hitting three vehicles outside his London home with his Range Rover. No charges were filed in this incident.

If he keeps it up, and the police stop giving him breaks, George will need someone to wake him up before he go goes...to prison!

4. Wow. This guy is really mess. At least if he wants to get high why doesn't he stay in his house ? Why do it in his car? He gets caught every time. Maybe he likes the thrill of getting caught in the act. Pot , estacsy , cocaine, alcohol and god knows what else he's doing. These are all drugs you should not be driving while comsuming.

If he doesnt have any regard for his own life, he needs to think of the safety of others. I'm all for having a good time and partying but get a grip here.
George is passing out behind the wheel of his car. What if he was in the process of driving . He could kill an innocent family of 5.

STAY IN YOUR HOUSE IF YOU WANT TO PARTY LIKE AN ANIMAL. Or at least hire a Limo. What up? It's not like he doesn't have the $$$. Next time I hope they throw his ass in Jail,,,,,,, Enough is enough here. Stear clear of this jerk. He is one dangerous DUDE.

5. The poor man is crying out for help! We are helplessly watching him commit slow suicide.
I used to enjoy his musical performances. Now, I just think he is a poor guy!

6. PATHETIC LOSER! I quit feeling sorry for this guy - he is going to kill someone. Of course he would have to be able to stay "conscious" at the wheel, I guess, in order to do that. Good God, Michael. Get some help! Counseling, Re-Hab, something. Dude, you are seriously going to hurt or kill someone with this type of behavior. It only takes a second and your life, and likely that of someone else's, will be changed forever.
