George
Michael has been cautioned by police for possessing cannabis
following his arrest in London's West End in February.
The
42-year-old was found by police asleep at the wheel of his car
in the early hours of the morning.
He attended
a central London police station to accept his caution.
At the time
of his arrest, Michael admitted the incident had been "my
own stupid fault" and said that police had acted properly.
"I was
in possession of class C drugs which is an offence and I have no
complaints about the police who were professional throughout,"
he said at the time.
Public
toilet
A member of
public had reported seeing a man slumped at the wheel of a car
near Hyde Park Corner.
An ambulance
was sent to the scene but Michael was not taken to hospital for
any treatment.
Michael said
he had not been drinking and that police had said he was fit to
drive, however his car had been immobilised so he was given a
lift home.
The singer,
who found fame in 1980s duo Wham!, was the subject of a
high-profile arrest in 1998 when he was detained by an
undercover police officer for lewd conduct in a public toilet in
Los Angeles.
