Fallen star Mackenzie Phillips was released from police custody this past Thursday after her arrest for drug possession at LAX Airport earlier in the week. Mac had to be bailed out by her little sister Bijou Phillips (who, apparently, tried to bail out her older sister on Wednesday but Mac refused to let her, preferring to stay in jail). Here are pics of Mackenzie hiding her head in shame as she left police custody and a few of the really sad deets of her arrest:
TMZ has obtained a copy of the police report written after Mackenzie Phillips’ arrest. The sad headline … when Phillips was strip-searched, an officer noticed track marks on both her arms and asked if she was a diabetic. According to the report, Phillips responded, “No, I am healthy except for my drug problem.” The doc details what TMZ reported earlier today. When Phillips was stopped at the screening station at LAX, she “was continually moving” as TSA employees searched around her pelvic area. Phillips then sat down as the search continued, and, according to the report, “a plastic bag containing an [unknown] white substance later identified and tested…positive for cocaine fell down her right pant leg.” Cops then found heroin and other paraphernalia, when “Phillips then spontaneously said “I’m holding” — slang for saying she has drugs.
This is so incredibly sad … but deffo goes to show that messing around with drugs isn’t cool, nor is it any sort of laughing matter. Just say no, y’all. It’s really disheartening to know that a human being can live in this way. Once you succumb to the temptations and iron grip of drug addiction you basically lose your life, your soul. If anything, mebbe we can learn from mistakes like this … I know that I would never want to live my life like this. Here’s hoping Mackenzie Phillips will be able to get the help she desperately needs. Addicts are never cured but hopefully she’ll be able to better handle her demons, whether she is eventually incarcerated or not. So sad.
