As marijuana becomes popular these days, lots of people can now gain access to it. Recently, the son of Madonna, Rocco Ritchie, has been caught and arrested for the possession of cannabis.

In a report by The Sun, the neighbors of Rocco Ritchie, 16, called the police after seeing him smoking cannabis and being fed up with his behavior. The police then rushed to the scene and the report says he tossed something away. When officers noticed traces of cannabis on his clothes, they searched him and found a small quantity of the drug. After the cops looked at the bag, they saw the Class B drug.

The incident happened on Sep. 28. He was taken to the north London police Station, and moments after, he was bailed. Following his arrest, Ritchie was dealt by the Camden Borough's Youth Offending Team.

Rocco Ritchie, son of Guy Ritchie, was always seen by his neighbors smoking drugs near his Primrose Hill home in North London. The reports then claimed that the neighbors are pissed by his behavior.

Earlier this year, Rocco Ritchie was facing the bitter custody dispute between his award-winning pop icon mother and his famous director father. The conflict started in December 2015 during a falling out between Madonna, when he deserted her during Madonna's Rebel Heart Tour.

Given that Rocco Ritchie refused to travel with his mother, Madonna still moves to a legal action, demanding the custody of her son both in the U.S. and the U.K. Lawyer of Guy Ritchie put into an argument that Rocco already settled in school in London. He won after the nine-month battle over where their son should live. The lawyer for Rocco then said that the feud was causing him stress.

Madonna then mentioned that Guy Ritchie "had poisoned her son against her and as the disciplinarian [parent]." She felt that Guy was way too permissive. In March, a lawyer for Rocco said the feud was causing him stress, according to Mail Online.

Now, Rocco Ritchie is staying and studying in London. Madonna is making regular visits. He has already been sentenced and he is currently attending a drug-ed class.
