Willie Nelson Cited

Country music star Willie Nelson and four others were issued misdemeanor citations for possession of narcotic mushrooms and marijuana after the tour bus they were on was stopped Monday morning on Interstate 10 in Louisiana, state police said.

In a news release, state police said the citations were issued after an early morning commercial vehicle inspection of the tour bus.

"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 2/10 of a pound of narcotic mushrooms.

Cited along with the singer were Tony Sizemore, 59, St. Cloud, Fla.; Bobbie Nelson, 75, Briarcliff, Texas; Gates Moore, 54, Austin, Texas; David Anderson, 50, Dallas.

Each was released after being issued a citation. A call to Nelson's publicist was not immediately returned.

Congradulations America on another example of your failure of a legal system, and way to slap the every day americans in the face. If that was anybody other then a musical idol who got busted with that much dope theyd be thrown right in prison. No offence Willie, your the man, but America, your the laughing stock of the world.

everyone on the bus claimed it, instead of just one person claiming it all for themself,
thats what makes the difference between misdemeanor and felony,
that much would have made it a charge of possesion w/ intention to sell and like 5 years in prison or somthing like that

Poor Willie probably has to drive back to Texas for more dope. Move to Canada Willie - we'll give you a grow licence.
