LEONARDO DICAPRIO'S BROTHER ARRESTED ON DRUG RELATED CHARGES IN TEXAS

Leonardo DiCaprio's step-brother has allegedly been arrested on drug-related charges in Texas.

Adam Farrar, who is DiCaprio's oldest sibling, was reportedly detained in Collin County Friday on 'two Class A Misdemeanors...for possession of a dangerous drug and theft', reports RadarOnline.

According to the website, both charges were outstanding warrants issued in Los Angeles. He was also reportedly charged with phone harassment.

If convicted, the 43-year-old faces a lengthy prison sentence, reports Radar.

Farrar's girlfriend Charity Moore, 38, was also arrested nearly a week before him on a slew of charges, including two counts of possession of a dangerous drug, theft and a misdemeanor involving a parent contributing to the child's failure to attend school, according to her Collin County Jail arrest record.

The couple are apparently both still being held at the correctional facility, a spokesperson for the sheriff's office told MailOnline.

The couple have a six-year-old daughter, Normandie, and her whereabouts are apparently unknown to the DiCaprio family.

A source told Radar: 'Adam and Charity have been hiding with Normandie in Texas, away from the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Service, who have long been involved in their cases due to their criminal pasts.


'They had been staying in North Dallas. Now, no-one in the family is sure where their daughter is, at this time.'

DiCaprio and Farrar used to be close and the pair were seen attending Los Angeles Lakers games together and hitting the Hollywood party scene – although in recent years it’s thought their relationship has turned sour.  

Sources told RadarOnline that Farrar and his Oscar nominee step-brother 'have had zero contact in recent years and do not get along.'

It is widely reported that DiCaprio was inspired to go into acting after he saw his step-brother carve a career for himself in commercials, movies and TV in the 1980s.

Farrar is best known for his roles in the science fiction series Battlestar Galactica and the ABC comedy-drama Eight is Enough.

 

However, as DiCaprio's career took off in the late 90s and Farrar's came to a standstill, things ended up rather differently for the brothers, who grew up together in LA after DiCaprio's mother, Peggy, married Farrar's father, cartoonist George DiCaprio, when he was just one.
