The complaint in federal court in Manhattan alleges Cameron Douglas was paid tens of thousands of dollars trafficking the drug, known as crystal meth - referred to in transactions by the codewords "pastry" or "bath salts" - since 2006.

The 30-year-old son of the Oscar-winning actor was arrested on July 28 at the trendy Hotel Gansevoort in Manhattan. His lawyer, Nicholas DeFeis, declined to comment.

Federal authorities have refused to discuss whether Douglas remains behind bars or any other aspect of the case.

The complaint, drawn up by a Drug Enforcement Administration agent, details allegations based on information provided by three unnamed crystal meth users and dealers.

The users - including someone who once worked for Douglas - have pleaded guilty and agreed to co-operate with the investigation.

The complaint said that in one deal in 2006, a co-operator shipped cash under a fake name to Douglas at a California hotel.

A few days later, it said, Douglas delivered a pound of methamphetamine to the informant at a Manhattan hotel.

Cameron Douglas has acted in movies including 2003's It Runs In The Family," starring his father and grandfather Kirk Douglas.

He was also arrested in California in 2007 on cocaine possession charges. His lawyer then said the arresting officer did not do his job properly.
