Leif Garrett arrested, jailed, headed for reality TV next?

Imagine if your job was to cast reality TV shows like Dr. Drew Pinsky's "Celebrity Rehab"?
All you have to do is watch TMZ.com and pluck the low hanging fruit.
Today's ripe pick is Leif Garrett, the 70s' teen wunderkind who was a poster boy with hair that rivaled Farrah Fawcett for covetability.
Garrett, born Leif Per Nervik, found himself locked up for two days this week on drug charges.
He was arrested Monday morning at a downtown Los Angeles Metrolink station for possession of a controlled substance, TMZ reports.
He was booked but was unable to make bail until early Wednesday morning.
He is due back in court on Feb. 24.
Like actor Rip Torn, this is a repeat of a past performance.
PopEater reports that Leif's drug problem is old news, and that he was arrested on the same subway line in 2006 for possession of heroin and Quaaludes. He was also arrested in 1999 and 2005 for drug possession too.
