West Wing Creator Arrested

 
     
  Aaron Sorkin, the Emmy award winning creator of ratings powerhouse, The West Wing, was arrested on Monday for possession of a controlled substance. The substance in question was a "quantity" of hallucinogenic mushrooms which he was apparently trying to take from Los Angeles to Las Vegas.

Sorkin was arrested by airport security at Burbank Airport. He was released three hours later on payment of a $10,000 bond.

In July he signed a $16m development deal with Warner Bros Television. You'd think he could afford to pay someone to carry his drugs for him.
