Comedian Artie Lange in Custody for Drug Possession

[s0me0nesmind1]

So... Funny thing, randomly tonight I just happen to be watching an Artie Lange special stand-up comedy from 2014 called The Stench of Failure.

In that stand-up he talks a lot about his experience with rehab, talking about becoming clean etc...

So I decided to do a quick Google of Artie to find his Wikipedia to read more about the stuff he went through...


Instead I was met with an 8 hour old news story that he uhhh... definitely isn't clean anymore.

Comedian Artie Lange was held in the Essex County Correctional Facility in Newark, N.J., on Wednesday night allegedly in an effort to help him sober up before being relocated to a long-term treatment program.

The former “MADtv” star’s team tweeted that he was not arrested, but only being held in jail for a few days.

According to the Essex County Correctional Facility inmate database, Lange was in possession of a controlled substance. However, there is no sentencing or bond information listed on the website. Lange’s team did not address the controlled substance possession, but said “it’s time.”

Lange reported to drug court on Dec. 14, after testing positive twice for cocaine and opioids during his four-year probation. The comedian avoided jail time back then, but the drug court had the authority to remand him to jail.

Several celebrities pleaded on Twitter late last year for Lange to seek help for his long and public drug problem. Lange shared a photo of his nose, which has been badly damaged after years of cocaine use. His nose appears to be bleeding in the mug shot.

Check out the show Crashing. It's a Pete Holmes show, but it has Arty playing himself and the stories are basically what Arty has went through. Pretty good show.

Good, maybe fun Artie will make a comeback.

 

[eng2d2]

He is never funny.

 

[Fanatical Meat]

He is never funny.

He was funny until the angry Artie appeared.
Angry Artie appeared around “I’m not your bro” and him accusing the stern show staffer guy of stealing some trivial amount of money from him. Angry Artie sucks, fun Artie is great.

God damn that is one screwed up nose...

What is the sheer tonnage of coke you need to make that happen?

In his own words:

30 years of jack and coke hit my nose.

 

[Thebobo]

Odds are he'll fall off again most likely.

 

[Starbuck1975]

How is he not dead

 

[s0me0nesmind1]

How is he not dead

He touches on that in the Joe Rogan podcast... He has zero fucking clue how someone like Mitch Hedberg died from drug use before he did.

The baby gorilla lives!!

Wonder if Howard will suck it up and have him on again??

Yeah, but how much coke is that? 30 years at a gram a week or 30 years at a gram a day and 2 grams on Saturday?

He may, he is all about forgiveness and settling old debts.
Interesting statement you made.
