“Unfortunately there’s a genetic component to addiction and Indio has likely inherited it,” Robert Downey Jr. said in a statement released by his representatives. “Also, there is a lot of family support and understanding, and we’re all determined to rally behind him and help him become the man he’s capable of being. We’re grateful to the Sheriff’s department for their intervention, and believe Indio can be another recovery success story instead of a cautionary tale.”
Indio Downey, 20, was released on $10,250 bail last night after being arrested in West Hollywood and booked on suspicion of possession of cocaine and smoking paraphernalia. According to the Los Angeles Times, a sherif’s deputy spotted Indio Downey smoking a pipe while a passenger in a car.
Robert Downey Jr’s own struggles with addiction were well publicized throughout the 1980s and 90s with multiple stints in rehab until he got clean and sober in 2001 with the help of a year in the California Substance Abuse Treatment Facility and State Prison.
