Police net McEnroe son
Kevin McEnroe, the son of tennis legend John McEnroe, was stopped by police on the corner of E.

McEnroe reportedly bought cocaine and a quantity of prescription pills, the Daily News reported. Specifically, he reportedly was carrying six glassine envelopes of cocaine, 20 oxycodone pills, 10 morphine pills and one anxiety pill, prosecutors said.

McEnroe, who is a bartender and lives in Gowanus, Brooklyn, was charged with possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell.

“Given the amount of drugs on him…we believe we have a strong intent to sell case,” prosecutor Mary Ostberg reportedly said at McEnroe’s Manhattan Criminal Court arraignment, according to the News. His famous father was not seated in the audience.

McEnroe was charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance. He was ordered released on his own recognizance.
