John Cleese, the British comedian famous for his roles in Monte Python's Flying Circus and more recently as 'Q' in the James Bond films has been arrested at his California home on charges of selling crack cocaine.

Police entered Cleese's home with a warrant early this Wednesday morning, approximately 18 hours after an undercover detective, who had been keeping in contact with Cleese for several months, successfully purchased 34 grams (about 1.2 oz) of crack cocaine from the well known actor in a private room at Los Angeles' kitschy "Cohiba" nightclub.



After searching Cleese's 16,000 square foot Montecito ranch, police discovered what some have called a staggeringly large cash of drugs and controlled substances including mescaline, cocaine, heroin, and several types of amphetamine. Cleese was taken into custody by the Los Angeles police and is being held without bail after a brief hearing before the LA District Attorney. His wife is also being held for questioning related to the drug scandal.

"It's shocking that such well liked and well respected celebrity could be mixed up in a large-scale drug racket right under our noses, but the evidence is certainly overwhelming." police Chief Bill Braxton commented at a press hearing held after the preliminary investigation of Cleese's home had concluded.

Cleese had been planning to sell the ranch and move with his wife Alice to a home in Santa Monica.

"Certainly this all happened very fast and we are still pouring over the evidence," continued Braxton, "just why Mr. Cleese would be involved in illegal drug trafficking we do not yet know."

Cleese's spokeman could not be reached for comment on the events.

I always knew that guy was riding the white horse - but selling it? That's pretty brazen for a recognizable figure like Cleese. Also, Voldermort kills Hermione in Harry Potter 7 (she sacrifices herself to save Ron.) After Hagrid dies, Snape sacrifices himself to Voldermort so Harry can live. I have this all as fact. Just about everything I post is fact.

"Setting aside the Harry Potter gayness, just look at that picture of Cleese. If you wanted to buy some blow, wouldn't THAT be the guy you'd want it from?"

"Yeah, that Harry Potter stuff is all real. Leaked onto the Interbutts by an anonymous hacker. (The hack was confirmed by the publishing company.)"

"So I can't freaking believe that Voldermort just kills Hermione without taking the opportunity to slobber all over her white virginal flesh while enjoying a warm Heineken! "
