Did Barney get arrested for drugs?

No, he did not. Rumors about Barney (and other childrens' TV hosts) are common and pretty much universally untrue. This particular urban myth is probably so pervasive because there have been some instances of criminals using toys - including barney toys

• to hide contraband (eg drugs). Several respected investigative

entities, including Snopes and CBS News, have thoroughly debunked the various Barney rumors.
