Robert Downey Jr.'s son, Indio, has been arrested and bailed on felony cocaine possession and drug paraphernalia.
The 20-year-old was pulled over by the Los Angeles Police Department on Sunday afternoon in what officers described as a suspicious vehicle. He was the only one in the car and was allegedly under the influence of drugs when he was stopped.
He was allegedly found with cocaine and drug paraphernalia in his possession.

He is Robert's eldest child and has a young step-brother who was born in 2012. Robert, 49, struggled for work after his Oscar-nominated portrayal of Charlie Chaplin in the 1992 film Chaplin due to his battles with addiction but has since overcome his dependency on drugs and alcohol to rise to the top of the A-list and the rich list in Hollywood.
He earned an estimated $ 75 million (nearly £ 50 million) in 2012, making him 2013's highest-paid actor in Hollywood.
In 2012, he did not even feature in the top 10 list but ended up overtaking the likes of Tom Cruise and Leonardo DiCaprio to the number one spot.
Speaking to E! News, the Iron Man actor said: "We're grateful to the Sheriff's department for their intervention, and believe Indio can be another recovery success story instead of a cautionary tale. "Robert added: "
Unfortunately, there's a genetic component to addiction and Indio has likely inherited it.
"Also, there is a lot of family support and understanding, and we're all determined to rally behind him and help him become the man he's capable of being."
