Artie Lange arrested for cocaine and heroin possession

Comedian Artie Lange — a former Howard Stern sidekick who has battled drug addiction in the past — was busted for possession of heroin and cocaine near his Hoboken home, police said Friday.

The 49-year-old funnyman was arrested Sunday in the parking garage of his building at 14th Street and Shipyard Lane, according to the Hoboken Police Department.

“Hey guys. I was arrested. I’m doing great. Physically too!” Lange tweeted Friday. “I’m such a flawed person guys. Tryin!”

He added, “FYI The Hoboken Cops treated me so great. Great people. Professional. I thank them for that Now a lawyer tells me what to do!”

Police were first called to the garage after someone complained that a man was trying to break into a car, police said.

Cops searched Lange and found several bags of heroin, cocaine and drug paraphernalia on him and in his car, according to police.

Lange has spoken publicly about his drug use. In 2009, he was arrested for driving under the influence after he crashed his car into another car in Toms River. He pleaded guilty and later said he had been taking prescription pills.

A year later, he was hospitalized after an apparent suicide attempt.

He recently appeared on the Judd Apatow-directed HBO show “Crashing,” in which he plays a comedian trying to make it in the New York stand-up comedy scene.
