Paul Michael Glaser claims he was prescribed marijuana for medical reasons

Starsky & Hutch star Paul Michael Glaser is fighting a drug charge in Kentucky for what he says is medical marijuana from California.

A lawyer for the 69-year-old actor - who played David Starsky in the hit 1970s police drama - entered a plea of not guilty at a hearing at Warren District Court.

Bowling Green police charged Glaser with possession of marijuana and a pipe on May 10, hours after he read an excerpt of his young adult novel, Chrystallia and the Source of Light, to students at a middle school.

According to a police statement, Glaser said he had medical marijuana prescribed to him in California.

He was arrested after an anonymous call to police that a man was smoking marijuana in a hotel.
