Crime / Willie Nelson Willie Nelson Busted For Pot Country music star must still like to get high By Evann Gastaldo, Newser Staff Posted Nov 27, 2010 8:10 AM CST Copied Willie Nelson performs before NASCAR's Sprint Cup Series auto race at Texas Motor Speedway, Sunday, Nov. 7, 2010, in Fort Worth, Texas. (AP Photo/Larry Papke) Apparently, Willie Nelson still enjoys the occasional doobie. The country music star was arrested—right out of his tour bus—at a border patrol checkpoint in Texas yesterday for possessing 6 ounces of marijuana, KVIA reports. He was booked in county jail but later freed on bond. This is just the latest of several run-ins with the law Nelson’s entourage has had, including a citation earlier this year at the very same checkpoint. (More Willie Nelson stories.) Report an error
