That's So Faded: Orlando Brown Busted for Weed

Kids, don't try this at home.

'That's So Raven' star Orlando Brown was arrested Wednesday for possession of marijuana in Houston after police pulled him over for not having his headlights on.

Brown, who plays Eddie Thomas on the most popular show ever on the Disney network, of course denied how the weed got in the car.

He claims a friend let him borrow the car while he was recording his album in Houston.

Good to see he's been pay attention to the numerous athletes and celebrities who get arrested and flat out deny they had any involvement with the drugs that just so happen to be in the vehicle they are driving in.

"I didn't know what was in the car. That's not what I do. I consider myself a youth activist," Brown said.

Youth activist?

Does that look like the photo of a "youth activist?"

I'm just saying...

5. Check the comment again, I have not used white people as an excuse, and I did not dismiss his actions. I did state that if this is true, I hope that that his family and friends get him the help he deserves. Speaking of the race card, you said it first. I personally would like to see him do well.

6. Why is it that when our black people get in trouble, we always have an excuse, claiming that white people have done worse?

We need to hold our own people accountable. When they mess up, we need to call it out. I get sick of us supporting our fallen even more when they get in trouble (see R. Kelly).

We will lose even more credibility with other races if we play the race card all the time. There's a time and a place for the race card. Now isn't one of them.

7. Lorraine...."you idiots"....Wow such a powerful statement coming from a saint... I mean you would have to be, because your comments suggest that you have never done anything wrong.
Adrienne "that's why he 'be' acting so funny"... maybe you need to pick up a grammar book.

8. I really and truly hope this is not true, but if it is, I hope his family and friends can get him the help he needs. But in his defense, he has been in front of the camera since he was a small child, and this is the only negative thing I have heard about him. Also, if this is the worst thing that happens to him, it is still better than some of his white counterparts. I think he will be fine, and I hope to see him still around in the future. That's so Raven is hilarious and my kids and I will continue to watch it. People make mistakes, lets just pray that he gets better.

12. It didn't say he was caught smoking weed. It was found in the car. And, the way cops are today they probably planted it in the car. I love the way everyone just assumes you are automatically guilty.
