Willie Nelson arrested for cannabis possession
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 29 November 2010
Willie Nelson has been charged with cannabis possession again after six ounces of the drug were reportedly found on his tour bus by a state border patrol.
According to a police spokesman, Nelson and two others were arrested in connection with the drugs, but the country star was subsequently released on a $2500 bond. Nelson’s spokesman declined to comment when contacted by Associated Press. The singer-songwriter is well known for his cannabis use, and recently supported narrowly defeated efforts to legalise some aspects of the drug’s use in California.
