After one of his several tussles with the law, Robert Downey Jr smiles happily while being photographed by the Californian police. The actor was first arrested for drink-driving, possession of heroin, and possession of an unloaded pistol in 1996 and given a suspended 3-year prison sentence. In August 1999 he was banged up for breaking probation and missing drug tests. He was released a year later on bail.
