Actor Matthew McConaughey was arrested today on drug-related charges, a spokesman for the Travis County Sheriff’s Department said.   McConaughey will be charged with possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and resisting transport because “he didn’t get in the police car,” spokesman Curtis Weeks said.   The 29-year-old movie star was expected to face a court appearance later today.   Austin police made the arrest, Weeks said. However, police declined to confirm the arrest or release any information until formal charges are filed.   McConaughey, a 1993 graduate of the University of Texas, is a part-time resident of Austin.   He has starred in several movies, including: A Time To Kill, Edtv, Contact, Dazed and Confused, Amistad and Lone Star. Pubdate: October 25, 1999Copyright 1999 The Associated Press
