“Home Alone” star Macaulay Culkin entered not guilty pleas at an Oklahoma City court on Wednesday to charges of illegally possessing marijuana and prescription medicine.
Former child star, Culkin, 24, appeared with his attorney to enter pleas on two misdemeanor charges of possession of a controlled dangerous substance. The actor left after his brief appearance, remaining free on $4,000 bond posted at the time of his arrest.
Oklahoma law enforcement officials said it was unlikely Culkin would face prison time if convicted. The charges bring up to one year in prison but Oklahoma prosecutors are seeking drug treatment as part of a plea agreement that will not include prison time.
Culkin, best known for his role of the ingenious child who fends off burglars in the “Home Alone” movies, was arrested on Sept. 17 while driving through Oklahoma City en route to California from New York.
His car was pulled over for speeding and improper lane changing. Police searched the vehicle and found him in possession of 17.3 grams (about half an ounce) of marijuana and prescription drugs, including the anti-anxiety medication Xanax, he apparently obtained without a prescription, they said.
An appearance in the case has been set for Dec. 2.
