Former child star Brad Renfro arrested in drug sting.

Actor Brad Renfro, former child star of such films as "The Client" and "Tom and Huck," was arrested in a skid-row drug sweep by Los Angeles undercover detectives rounding up suspected heroin buyers, police said on Friday.

Renfro, 23, was one of 14 people detained on suspicion of attempting to buy heroin during Thursday's sting operation by the Los Angeles Police Department, said spokesman Lt. Paul Vernon.

The actor spent several hours in jail and was released on $10,000 bond late Thursday night, Vernon said.

"My understanding is he was quite contrite upon being arrested," Vernon told Reuters.

A photograph of Renfro's arrest, showing the performer dressed in a military shirt, his pants pockets inside out and his hands being bound behind him, ran on the front page of Friday's edition of the Los Angeles Times. . . . . .Full Story
