Boy George, real name George O’Dowd, returned to the UK, two days after being arrested on drug charges, and false report of a burglary in New York.

It happened when George, 44, called police to his apartment because of a burglary at 3:14 a.m. Friday. Police officers found a woman and George “stoned out of his gourd,” a source said, and 14 bags of cocaine lying on a table, reports the New York Daily News.com.

Over 3.5g of cocaine was allegedly found in his Manhattan apartment. If found guilty, George could be facing up to 15 years in prison and would almost likely be barred from entering the US.

George?s lawyer Lou Freeman defended George and stated that the drugs that were found did not belong to him.

?He doesn?t know where it came from. He?s had a lot of people in his house,? Freeman told the New York Post.

When arriving at Heathrow Airport yesterday, George refused to comment and stated, ?I am not speaking to anybody about it. Don?t ask me any questions because you aren?t going to get any answers,? reports BBC news.

He will return to the U.S for a court hearing on December 19.
