Eighties’ pop sensation Boy George today protested his innocence in the wake of allegations of possessing cocaine, according to his former agent.

Boy George was arrested on drugs charges early today, nearly 24 hours after calling the police emergency line to report what he said was a burglary in his Manhattan apartment, authorities said.

US police arrested a man following a bomb scare that emptied a Pennsylvania Station and disrupted train and subway services for around an hour.
