Police in Alaska searched the Cornelia Marie, a boat featured in the reality show "Deadliest Catch," for evidence of a star's drug abuse.

According to TMZ.com, police searched the boat on Nov. 5 after Captain Derek Ray called police claiming one of the crew was abusing drugs on board.

Captain Ray reportedly told police Jake Harris, son of late Captain Phil Harris, had been abusing prescription drugs while at sea.

TMZ says police found paraphernalia on the boat, but not enough evidence to connect Harris to a crime.

    The loss of Phil was rough, the loss of his son isn't far behind if he doesn't get a grip.

    btw, the spotlight won't help him.

    Get a grip kid, please.

    Lot's of us are pulling for you, and are willing to forgive your mistakes.

    We miss your dad.

    End the cycle, now.

    Captain Phil was a straight up dad to Josh and Jake. Jake you made a promise to your dad to get off the drugs. I know how hard that can be from personal experience but it can be done. Live to honor your dad by kicking the habit. You'll be a better man for it.

    He apparently has not hit bottom yet. Some people need to before they can fix the problem

    ......he's in the wrong place and in the wrong environment and too early in his attempt at sobriety.......to stay off drugs and alcohol. The crab fisherman life is "fast and dangerous". I got out.....but it took it's toll. In my humble opinion..this kid stands very little chance of staying clean if he continues to do this kind of work.

    What has happened to that cute little boy with the crooked little smile i used to babysit? Please please learn from the mistakes made by your dad and mom. They lived that tough life and the best we can do is to learn and not choose the same path.

    Come on man! Time to put on your big boy pants and deal with your issues thru healthy means. I agree that crab fishing isn't the right place to start your sobriety. Please get it together Jake...do it for yourself and do it for your dad!
