Actor Michael Dougla's Son Released From Prison After Nearly 7 Years

Michael Douglas’ eldest son, Cameron Douglas, was quietly released from jail after nearly seven years for drug possession.

The 37 year old actor was arrested in a New York City hotel in 2009 by the Drug Enforcement Administration for possession of 0.5 pounds of methamphetamine, which was enough to charge him with intent to distribute.

Cameron was sentenced to five years in prison in April 2010, but his sentence was extended the following year when he pleaded guilty to smuggling heroin and other drugs into jail. He spent the last two years in solitary confinement.

The National Lampoon’s Adam & Eve actor was scheduled for release in 2018, but he was recently released early, according to Page Six.

Cameron is the son of Michael and first wife Diandra Morrell Douglas, who he divorced in 2000 after 23 years of marriage. The Fatal Attraction actor married Catherine Zeta-Jones in November 2000. They are the parents of two children, Dylan, 15, and Carys, 13.
