Former child star Aaron Carter is spending a night behind bars after being caught with more than two ounces of marijuana.

The younger brother of Backstreet Boys singer Nick was pulled over last night for speeding by cops in Kimble County, Texas.

Officers found the drugs when they searched his vehicle.

Aaron, 20, was being held overnight in jail and is due to be arraigned in front of a judge today.

He launched a music career in the late 90s and released his first single aged nine.

Aaron has been romantically linked with starlets Lindsay Lohan and Hilary Duff.
