"I don't care whose son you are..."
Here's a tip for would-be celebrity criminals: Drug-sniffing dogs are not impressed by name-dropping.
That was the harsh lesson apparently learned by Christian Peppard, son of the late actor George Peppard ("The A-Team," "Breakfast at Tiffany's"), who was arrested Tuesday by the Utah Highway Patrol on suspicion of drug possession.
According to this account in The Salt Lake Tribune, Peppard was pulled over in his rental car along Interstate 80 in Salt Lake County. While Peppard told the officer who his famous father was - and that he was driving to Dearborn, Mich., to visit his father's grave - a police dog sniffed what turned out to be 38 pounds of marijuana in the trunk.
Peppard's female passenger also was booked into jail.
Christian Peppard's mother, by the way, is the actress Elizabeth Ashley.
