An anonymous caller led investigators to a hotel room at the Merv Griffin Resort Saturday night where they found the actor alone with cocaine and methamphetamine, Palm Springs police officer Ralph Landry said. Downey, 35, was arrested for drug possession, being under the influence of a controlled substance, and committing a felony while free on bail, he said. He was released Sunday on $15,000 bail and is scheduled to appear in court within 30 days, Officer Landry said. - --- MAP posted-by: Andrew
