The Daily Mirror report that Michael -who finished fifth in the series earlier this year – was taken into custody by police yesterday afternoon.
The Reservoir Dogs star said in a statement via his lawyer: “Michael found his son smoking pot and they got in an argument when he tried to take it away.
“It’s a family matter and Michael asks that his family’s privacy be respected.”
The newspaper says that police have charged Michael with “child endangerment with cruelty to a child”
And surprisingly Michael Madsen wasn’t the only Celebrity Big Brother star to be arrested yesterday, with rapper Coolio also being forced to spend time in a cell.
The Ultimate Big Brother star, who was ejected from the show after arguments with Nadia, was picked up by police after failing to appear in court over a 2010 traffic ticket.
