A small town police department in Louisiana had to jail Corey Feldman overnight after the singer and former child star was arrested on marijuana and traffic charges.
On Saturday evening in Mangham, Louisiana, police officers pulled over Corey Feldman’s tour bus for speeding.
Unbelievably, Feldman himself was driving the bus — and he had a suspended license at the time, leading to the first citation.

In addition to that, Mangham cops searched the bus and found both marijuana and prescription pills — and Feldman ended up being cited with possession of marijuana, speeding, and driving with a suspended license.
Feldman quickly paid a fine and was released to go about his business.
He tweeted about the ordeal (below):

The band had been on their way to play the Live Oaks Bar and Ballroom in nearby Monroe, Louisiana that night before they got stopped — it appears, of course, that the show was called off.
For what it’s worth, the group has another show tonight in Houston — and Feldman, tweeting about his whole ordeal, has indicated it’ll go off as planned.
Let’s just hope everybody is OK and the prescriptions come out so charges will go away!
