Cameron Douglas, 20, was charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance, a misdemeanor. He was released on his own recognizance and is due back in court Nov. 17. Michael Douglas was not in court Wednesday -- his son told police his father was out of town, said Deputy Inspector Denis McCarthy. Douglas was arrested Tuesday in the lobby of a Fifth Avenue apartment building, McCarthy said. He allegedly had one gram of cocaine on him that cost him $60. Cameron Douglas' attorney said he believes the charges will be dismissed. - --- MAP posted-by: Keith Brilhart
