ROBERT PATTINSON has been caught up in another heroin scandal weeks after dismissing reports he overdosed in New York - U.S. government officials have seized a TWILIGHT-themed cache of the drug featuring the actor’s face.
According to Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) officials, heroin baggies featuring a cartoon of Pattinson and other Twilight characters were recently seized in West Hempstead, Long Island.
Officials say the Twilight-themed heroin has been gaining popularity in the months leading up to the much-hyped premiere of the vampire franchise’s second installment, New Moon.
The drug bust comes weeks after 23-year-old Pattinson slammed a string of sick rumours suggesting he had succumbed to a heroin overdose.
Lashing out at the media for upsetting his family, he said: “I had a heroin overdose in New York (according to the rumours); that was an exciting one for my mother.”
