Willie Nelson Cited for Drug Possession
Article
Quote:
BREAUX BRIDGE, La. -- Willie Nelson and several members of his band were issued misdemeanor citations for drug possession early today during a traffic stop in Saint Martin Parish.
The traffic stop was conducted on Interstate 10 near Breaux Bridge.
Trooper Willie Williams says troopers smelled a strong odor of marijuana when the driver opened the bus door.
During a search of the bus, Williams say approximately 1 1/2 pounds of marijuana and approximately 2/10 of a pound of mushrooms were located on the bus.
The 73-year-old Nelson of Spicewood, Texas; 59-year-old Tony Sizemore of Saint Cloud, Fla.; 75-year-old Bobbie Nelson of Briarcliff, Texas; 54-year-old Gates Moore of Austin, Texas; and 50-year-old David Anderson of Dallas, Texas were issued citations for possession of mushrooms and possession of marijuana and released.

Wait, do you people not know that Willie is probobly the most notorious pot smoker in the country?
I'm surprised they even gave him a ticket....although it was Louisiana and all of their cops are bastards.
They don't care at all what he does down here in Austin.

They forgot to put the sarcasm tags on. 
This is about as surprising as Lindsay Lohan getting poopy faced.

Lord, do our local governments really have so much money that they can spend it on stuff like this?

You really think issuing a misdemeanor citation costs that much? they didn't spend months doing a sting operation.
Anyone else caught with a pound and a half (!) of marijuana would've gotten off much worse; I really don't think a citation is going to keep Willie down.

Frankly, and I consider myself a serious fan of Willie Nelson's, I'm just surprised that Bobbie was cited.

he was also doing TV ads for a politician that had to do with his support of farmers and has already been dropped.

Now that just ticks me off! Willie Nelson has always been one of the core supporters of Farm Aid. Farm Aid explains the difference between the Congressional version of organic and the Farm Aid version (much stricter). It has provided several family farmers with the ability to keep it in the family, rather than sell to foreign interests. After all, what happens when all of the farms in the USA are owned by outside people?
I wasn't planning to attend this year's Farm Aid; suddenly, I think I will. It's no question that I'll support it (even though I really disliike Neil Young)!
