Curtis was arrested at 11:30 p.m. Sunday and charged with criminal possession of marijuana when an officer saw him making the purchase from Queens resident Omar Mendez, a police spokesman said.
Police said Curtis was buying "a small bag" and was not being charged with intent to distribute. Mendez, 19, faces charges of drug sale and possession.
"At no time was there ever any intent to distribute," Curtis' attorney, James Moschella, told CNN. "The case is over."
Officers made the arrest as part of Operation Condor, a special anti-narcotics detail.
Curtis' agent, Bonnie Schumofsky, refused to comment on the arrest.
Curtis, 22, was born in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and is enrolled at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, according to Dell's Web site.
He gained national recognition as "Steven," a hip teenager who convinces his parents, his friends' parents and random people at the mall to buy computers from Dell.
The ad campaign was hugely successful for Dell Computer Corp. It featured Curtis' catchphrase, "Dude, you're getting a Dell!"

Given that the end-date of Generation Z is generally considered to be in the early 2010s, and thus a not-insignificant number of the Zoomers weren't even born when he got arrested, probably not.

The linked article in the OP is the very same one from 20 years ago, and it happened in New York (which has since legalized cannabis possession and sale). As far as I'm aware, he was not arrested a second time, and if he was, it couldn't have possibly been in the same state for the same reason as last time.
