Willie Nelson Busted for Weed

LAFAYETTE, La. -
Wille Nelson and four others were issued misdemeanor citations for possession of narcotic mushrooms and marijuana after a traffic stop Monday morning on a Louisiana highway, state police said.
The citations were issued after a commercial vehicle inspection of the country music star's tour bus, state police said in a news release.
"When the door was opened and the trooper began to speak to the driver, he smelled the strong odor of marijuana," the news release said. A search of the bus produced 1 1/2 pounds of marijuana and 0.2 pounds of narcotic mushrooms, according to state police.
Nelson's publicist, Elaine Shock, declined immediate comment
Also cited were Tony Sizemore, 59, of St. Cloud, Fla.; Bobbie Nelson, 75, of Briarcliff, Texas; Gates Moore, 54, of Austin, Texas; and David Anderson, 50, of Dallas.
Each was released after being issued a citation.

Willie Nelson and several members of his band were cited for drug possession in Louisiana early Monday.

Troopers stopped the singer's bus in Saint Martin Parish, the Associated Press reports. According to trooper Willie Williams, they smelled a strong odor of marijuana when the driver opened the door.

Williams said troopers searched the vehicle and found approximately 1 1/2 pounds of marijuana and about 2/10 of a pound of mushrooms.

Nelson, 73, and Tony Sizemore, 59, Bobbie Nelson, 75, Gates Moore, 54, and David Anderson, 50, were issued misdemeanor citations for possession of mushrooms and marijuana and then released.

Next up, Nelson will perform at Farm Aid 2006 on Sept. 30 in Camden, N.J.

That traffic incident occurred slightly southeast of Lafayette in a colorful little area named Breaux Bridge (former Senator John Breaux's family comes from the area) that's the site of all sorts of interesting transportation adventures since several highways converge right there. A little green of a slightly different type than Willie and his crew were ticketed for turns felonies into misdemeanors down there just like magic. Laissez les bon temps rouler!

I love Willie!

That being said anyone of us would be Thunderdick's new girlfriend in County jail given the same situation.

I love Willie, too. But truly, even non celebrities often can get off easily down there, too, if they are carrying enough cash to be persuasive.

dude its nto liek ti matters to him, im sure right after he got back from the cop shop he blazed up, hes rich, he was probably just liek damn man we got to find some more weed now hhahaha or soemthin like that



ede

Poor Willie....

thats insane a citation for 1 1/2 lbs!! hell yea

Cool.....I live in lafayette....I heard it on the news this afternoon....I been pulled over by St. Martin police and he is very lucky to get just a citation....

This is the United States of America, and they're busting Willie for smoking? How long has this been going on? Yeah, it's a bunch of crap..it was also a couple of days after him speaking about the legalization of marijuana somewhere in texas...the irony lol.

Go on the Willie!

Fuckin Misdemeanor,someone on that bus musta took the rap and it just didnt get published lol.Unless its because of their age or as birdgirl said "MONEY TALKS MONEY TALKS,DIRTY CASH I WANT YOU,DIRTY CASH I NEED YOU........."


Theres only one Wille Nelson,
One Willie Nelson

LMFAO!!!!!

"Your as cool as shit mister"

The man is in his seventies for Christ sakes .... his entitled to smoke .... leave him alone! They should have let him keep his weed and let him go his way!

The treatment of weed smokers was the first sign I saw that America was becoming a fascist country.

It's an outrage the way they treat Willie .... IRS included!:mad:

i dont know if that is veryr good advice i still think over quarter pound of weed per person would probably be enough to get most non celebrities a little more than a misdemeanor
