Willie Nelson Won't Face Jail Time For Marijuana Bust
Posted on Sat Dec 4, 2010 10:20 AM PDT
Willie Nelson's recent marijuana arrest has been switched from a felony to a misdemeanor after Texas authorities determined that he was carrying a lesser amount of the drug than previously reported.
The country star was allegedly found to be in possession of 6 ounces of pot when border patrol agents searched his tour bus at a checkpoint last month, but it turns out he was only carrying 4 ounces. While 4 ounces is still a substantial amount of greens, it means Willie is off the hook as far as jail time and he's facing a smaller fine.
Had he been charged with felony possession, Willie would have spent up to 180 days in jail and been slapped with a $10,000 fine, so we're sure he's celebrating this victory!
Hurray!
