Whitesnake's favorite hood ornament busted for coke

[KG]

Los Angeles (E! Online) - No baseball players were harmed in the making of this drug bust.

Actress Tawny Kitaen, who was best known for a handful of '80s-era roles before supposedly clocking hubby Chuck Finley with her high-heeled shoes, was rung up Tuesday on a felony drug charge.

Prosecutors said that the Bachelor Party bride-to-be is facing one count of possessing a controlled substance after police found 15 grams of cocaine in her apartment.

According to Jim Amormino of the Orange County Sheriff's Department, deputies showed up at Kitaen's San Juan Capistrano apartment to perform a "welfare check" on her and her two daughters with Finley, Wynter and Raine.

Police said that Kitaen was not under the influence of any drugs or alcohol at the time but that the children, ages 8 and 13, were home when officers arrived and found the cocaine.

Kitaen, 45, who's scheduled to be arraigned Dec. 18, is facing up to three years in prison if convicted. But, she can avoid hard time if she qualifies for a drug diversion program and enters rehab, O.C. District Attorney's Office spokeswoman Susan Schroeder said.

He is the only pitcher to strike out four players in one inning <1> more than once, accomplishing the rare feat three times. This can mainly be attributed to the fact that he used an excellent splitfinger pitch as his strike out weapon and that pitch would often end up in the dirt.

2. My first reaction is, is this another Kate Moss thing?

Don't get me wrong. I do not worship celebrities. For example, I don't think Steve Irwin was a world-historical hero, and I think the way he died was pretty stupid. But in our Neo-Prohibition era, I wonder, IS law enforcement going after celebrities-of-opportunity to make an example of them for all of us nobodies - too many of us to arrest?

Like that Kate Moss thing. We've all heard of arresting someone for dealing, or arresting someone for holding (rarer), or even arresting someone for driving impaired or othwise disturbing the peace enhanced. But would any of US face police investigation because someone had a picture of us using illegal substances months or years ago? So long ago it probably wouldn't even show up in a hair test, let alone if they asked us to fill up the cup?
