Craig Robinson of 'The Office' Busted for Drugs in Bahamas

Craig Robinson, the comic actor best known for playing Darryl Philbin on NBC's "The Office," was arrested for drug possession in the Bahamas Wednesday, but was later released and ordered to pay a fine.

Robinson was reportedly stopped as he tried to board a plane in the capital, Nassau, and head back to the United States. Customs agents found a small amount of marijuana and pills deemed suspicious, Supt. Stephen Dean of the Royal Bahamas Police Force told The Associated Press.

"It was nothing major," Dean said.

Robinson, who was in the Bahamas for a comedy show, was taken into custody and appeared before a magistrate, where he pleaded guilty to two counts of drug possession. Prosecutor Ercel Dorsett told the court that Robinson had a half-gram of marijuana and 18 ecstasy pills.

The 41-year-old actor, who appeared calm in shorts and a T-shirt and was not accompanied by a lawyer, told the court he brought the drugs from the United States and did not know they were illegal in the Bahamas.

Magistrate Andrew Forbes ordered him to pay a $1,000 fine and directed that he be turned over to authorities and removed from the country. He could have faced four years in prison.

A publicist for Robinson, Nicole Chabot, declined to comment. Blair Berk, a Los Angeles lawyer who represented the actor after a previous drug arrest, also declined comment.

In June 2008, police in Culver City, California, arrested Robinson on suspicion of possessing MDMA, also known as ecstasy, and methamphetamine. The charges were later dismissed after he completed a diversion program.

Robinson has also appeared in movies such as the "Pineapple Express," "Zach and Miri Make a Porn," and "Hot Tub Time Machine."
