At a pretrial hearing, charges of being under the influence of a controlled substance were added for Douglas, based on the testimony of a Santa Barbara County, Calif., Sheriff's deputy, TMZ.com said.

Cameron and friend Christopher Lane were arrested July 22 after police found them in a car allegedly with a syringe, containing liquid cocaine, on the floorboard.

The arresting officer alleges Lane told him the syringe was his.

Both men are to return for arraignment on Nov. 16.
