'Making History' Star Adam Pally Charged With Drug Possession

Adam Pally made some history with the New York Police Department on Tuesday night, and it’s probably a bit of history that he’d rather forget.

Pally, who stars on Fox’s “Making History,” was charged with drug possession Tuesday night, a spokesman for the NYPD told TheWrap on Wednesday.

According to police, the 35-year-old actor, was approached by law enforcement at approximately 10:45 p.m. after he was observed smoking marijuana from an e-cigarette in public view.
