Sean Penn’s son Hopper reportedly arrested for drug possession

The actor son of Hollywood veterans Sean Penn and Robin Wright was arrested for drug possession in Nebraska this week, according to a report.

Hopper Penn, 24, was pulled over Wednesday while driving in a car with actress Uma von Wittkamp in the Cornhusker State, according to TMZ.com.

During the traffic stop for failing to signal, the officer reportedly detected drug activity and decided there was probable cause to search.

Police found 14 grams of marijuana, four amphetamine pills and three grams of mushrooms, the website said.

Penn reportedly was booked for the mushrooms and less than an ounce of marijuana while his companion was booked for the pills and mushrooms.

Hopper has spoken publicly about his struggles with substance abuse in the past.

In an interview with ES magazine last year, he said that after his parents' breakup and a serious skateboarding accident, he fell in with the "wrong crowd."

"I was doing a lot of stuff, but meth was the main one that brought me down. I went to rehab because I woke up in hospital and my dad said, 'Rehab? Or bus bench?' I was like, 'I'll take the bed,'" Penn said.

"Thank God I got out of that because that was the worst time in my life. Because it's not fun when it gets to a point where you just need it," he said.
