Idol band member G Dragon busted for using marijuana

Seoul prosecutors said Wednesday that they imposed a suspension of indictment against G Dragon, a member of the idol group Big Bang, on the charge of smoking marijuana.

G Dragon reportedly confessed to smoking pot at a bar while on a concert tour in Japan in mid-May. A test of his hair in July came out positive for marijuana use.

He was given a suspended indictment considering that it was his first offense.
