Cameron Douglas, the 31-year old son of famed Hollywood actor Michael Douglas was sentenced to 5-years in prison for drug charges.
Back in January, Cameron plead guilty to drug charges of dealing large quantities of methamphetamine and cocaine.
A conspiracy to distribute drugs charge would carry a mandatory sentence of 10 years in prison, but U.S. District Judge Richard M. Berman said the government had agreed that Douglas qualified for a lesser sentence of 5-years.
