Michael Douglas' son admits to dealing drugs

The hard-luck son of Michael Douglas pleaded guilty yesterday to dealing large quantities of methamphetamine and cocaine while holed up in a trendy Manhattan hotel where he was arrested last year.

Cameron Douglas, 31, told a judge that a New York contact first asked him if he could score the drugs in 2006. After that, "I began supplying on a regular basis." Asked by a judge if he knew what he was doing was wrong, he replied, "Yes, your honor." Prosecutors said Douglas had signed a plea agreement, but the details weren't disclosed, The Associated Press reports.

In addition to conspiracy to distribute drugs, Douglas pleaded guilty to heroin possession - a charge stemming from allegations that his girlfriend tried to smuggle him the drug in an electric toothbrush while he was under house arrest.

He faces a minimum 10-year prison term at sentencing on April 27.

"I think he handled it well under the circumstances," defense attorney Nicholas DeFeis said after his jailed client's plea.

The son of the Oscar-winning actor was arrested July 28 at the trendy Hotel Gansevoort as part of a Drug Enforcement Administration investigation.
