Stranger Things actor Charlie Heaton was denied entry into the U.S. last week after traces of cocaine were found in his luggage, a law enforcement official told the Associated Press on Friday. A customs canine reportedly detected something amiss in Heaton’s luggage and authorities subsequently found a small amount of the drug during an inspection at Los Angeles International Airport last Saturday.
