Ally Loses Another Boyfriend Even after Downey's November arrest, the television show appeared committed to working with him. But producers have apparently had enough. He's got soul. The actor has had repeated brushes with the law over his drug use. His lawyers are currently challenging the legality of the hotel room search that led to last fall's arrest on drug possession charges.
Police say they found cocaine and Valium in the room.
He is expected to appear in court Monday in San Bernadino on those charges, and could face jail time if convicted. He is scheduled to appear in court on May 4 in connection with Tuesday's arrest. Downey's legal troubles date to June 1996, when he was stopped for speeding on the Pacific Coast Highway and authorities found cocaine, heroin and a pistol in his vehicle. A month later, he was found passed out on a child's bed in a neighbor's home. Three days later, he was arrested after leaving a recovery center.
