Favored R&B crooner Robin Thicke was arrested in Manhattan Friday, Feb. 17 for marijuana possession, the Daily News reported. He was observed by an officer sitting curbside near 3rd Ave. and E. 21st St. in a Cadillac Escalade, smoking a joint. He was with another person in the car, but was the only one arrested on marijuana possession charges.

Thicke did say on a radio interview last year, I'll say I never met a drug I didn't like. Which jives, considering he was talking about cocaine. However, he also did mention there that drug use had slowed since his marriage to Paula Patton had produced a son.

Thicke released his fifth studio album Love After War in December 2011. He is also the son of noted actor Alan Thicke.
