(September 3, 2008)--Former teen star Mackenzie Phillips has been charged with felony possession of drugs after she was allegedly found carrying narcotics at Los Angeles International Airport.
District Attorney's spokeswoman Jane Robison said Wednesday Philips was charged with two felony counts of possession of a controlled substance, heroin and cocaine.
She also faces a misdemeanor count of unauthorized possession of a needle or syringe.
Phillips, 48, was free on $20,000 bond Wednesday.
She was heading to New York when she failed to pass a security screening and a secondary search turned up needles and suspected drugs.
Phillips is the daughter of John Phillips, founder of The Mamas and the Papas pop group.
She was fired from the sitcom "One Day At a Time" in 1982 for drug-related reasons.
