Former teen idol Leif Garrett arrested for drugs again.

Former teen idol Leif Garrett was charged with heroin possession on Wednesday after spending three days in a Los Angeles jail following an arrest for subway fare dodging, the district attorney's office said.

Garrett, 44, a child actor who turned to music in the 1970s and had smash hits with "I Was Made for Dancing" and a remake of "Surfin' USA," was arrested on Saturday at a subway station in downtown Los Angeles.

Transit police Lt. Mike Herek said Garrett had no train ticket and later checks turned up the suspected drugs. Garrett had pleaded guilty last March to attempted cocaine possession and was on probation at the time of his arrest.

He was charged with heroin possession and fare evasion on Wednesday and was expected to make another court appearance later in the week.

Garrett, whose good looks and floppy blond hair made teenage girls swoon in the mid 1970s, was arrested in Los Angeles in 1999 on charges of trying to buy drugs from undercover officers.

In 1979, he was behind the wheel of a car that plunged down a hillside and left his passenger paralyzed. . . . . .Source
