'Coronation Street' actor receives drug caution
'Coronation Street' actor Craig Charles has received a caution for possession of a Class A drug.
The 42-year-old Liverpool-born actor was suspended from the soap in June after the 'Daily Mirror' published photographs of him apparently smoking crack cocaine in the back of a car.
It was alleged that he had been taking the drug as he travelled from London to Manchester after recording his music show for BBC digital radio channel 6 Music.
Charles became famous in the late Eighties, starring in BBC2's sci-fi sitcom 'Red Dwarf', before hosting 'Robot Wars' on the same channel.
He joined the cast of 'Coronation Street' last year, as taxi driver Lloyd Mullaney.
A spokesperson for the ITV show said that Charles remained suspended from the show, but added that it was hoped that he would be able to return to the show at some point in the future.
