cookiegirl Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 Benjamin Curtis, the 22-year old actor who portrays "Steven," the Dell Guy, in those bothersome computer commercials, was arrested late last night (2/9) on a marijuana possession charge. According to police, Curtis was nabbed after cops spotted him buying a "small bag of marijuana" from a dealer on Manhattan's Lower East Side (at Ludlow and Rivington for you Gothamites). Curtis is currently being held in Central Booking and is scheduled to be arraigned later today in Manhattan Criminal Court. Curtis, who lives in lower Manhattan, was charged with criminal possession of marijuana, a misdemeanor. Omar Mendez, the 19-year-old alleged dealer, faces drug sale and possession charges.

He should use the Winona Ryder excuse and tell the judge he was doing "research" for a new role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
