Keith Richards was pleased with the way his daughter Theodora coped when she was arrested recently - but has urged her to ''give up'' wrongdoing that could get her in trouble with the law.

Keith Richards warned his daughter to "give up" being arrested.

Model Theodora Richards was taken into police custody in March after being spotted writing graffiti on a building and in possession of cannabis, and the Rolling Stones rocker - who has been charged numerous times with drug-related offences in the past - later spoke to her about her conduct.

Keith said: "My daughter did get popped a few months ago for, like, a miniscule amount of marijuana, so I told her to give up being arrested and she agreed with me.

I just said, 'Stop that, it's no fun' and she said, 'You're right.'

"I just said, 'Stop that, it's no fun' and she said, 'You're right.' "

Charges against 26-year-old Theodora - whose mother is Keith's wife, model-and-actress Patti Hansen - were later dropped but the guitarist was pleased with his daughter's conduct following her arrest.

He added to the Daily Telegraph newspaper: "She didn't let on who her parents were, she spent a night in the tank and kept quiet and I said, 'That's the way to handle it."
