It was kind of sad when Michael Douglas' son Cameron was arrested for trying to smuggle a half-pound of crystal meth. So it's an order of magnitude sadder that Cameron's girlfriend got busted smuggling heroin to him in jail.

NBC New York says that Cameron's girlfriend Kelly Sott probably shares many of the same human flaws that her boyfriend does:

Law enforcement sources said Kelly Sott was caught passing an electric toothbrush to Douglas in a conference room inside the 500 Pearl Street courthouse after a court hearing on his federal drug charges. An official said hidden inside the handle of the toothbrush were dime bags of heroin.

The ol' electric toothbrush trick, eh? It sounds highly unlikely to succeed if you think about it even a little.
