Canadian country diva Shania Twain’s 30-year-old half-brother, Darryl Christopher Twain, was arrested on drug-trafficking charges when Edmonton police discovered a “significant” amount of crack hidden in the car he was in, reports the Edmonton Sun. The Pontiac Grand Am was stopped because it fit the description of a car that may have been involved in a shooting last July. Inside, cops found 170 spitball-sized rocks of crack cocaine valued at around $7,000, which they exclaimed was “a pretty good haul.” Twain’s brothers-in-law, Franklin Julian Logan, 33, and Jason Bernard Logan, 30, also face charges of trafficking.
True to form, Shania’s Toronto-based publicist was as shocked as can be to hear the news. “It’s news to me,” he said when contacted. Perhaps he’ll break the news to Shania, who lives in Switzerland and is, by the way, the best-selling female artist of all time, according to the Sun article. So there, Diana, Barbra, and Cher.
Darryl Twain is the youngest of two half-brothers to Shania, who was born Eileen Regina Edwards in Windsor, Ont., on Aug. 28, 1965. Shania and two sisters were adopted by Jerry Twain, whom mom Sharon had married after parting with her first husband. The couple added two sons to the family: Mark and Darryl. When Jerry and Sharon were killed in a 1987 car crash, Shania took charge of the family. Darryl Twain was 13 years old at the time.
