Indio Downey was arrested for cocaine possession Sunday, but his father, Robert Downey Jr., is standing by his son’s side.
“Unfortunately there’s a genetic component to addiction and Indio has likely inherited it,” he said in a statement to TheWrap. “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.”
