Harry Potter Actor Jamie Waylett Sentenced for Drugs
Jamie Waylett, who plays Vincent Crabbe in the Harry Potter films, pleaded guilty to growing ten cannabis plants in his mother’s London home, reports the BBC. The 20-year-old actor was ordered to do 120 hours of community service.
He was arrested after police found pictures of the plants on his camera, which they seized after he took a picture of the officers – which is prohibited under the Terrorism Act – as his friend, John Innis, 20, drove past them.
“I extend my sincere apologies to all producers, cast and crew and all at Warners and most especially to all Harry Potter fans,” said Waylett.
He received a police reprimand and two warnings between 2001 and 2005. No further details were given about these incidents.
