US: Willie Nelson admits possession of cannabis

Showbiz Spy

Wednesday 25 Apr 2007

---
US country music star Willie Nelson and his tour manager were spared a
jail sentence after pleading guilty to possessing marijuana.

Nelson’s, tour manager David Anderson, Nelson’s sister, Bobbie Nelson,
and two drivers were charged on September 18 after Louisiana state
troopers said that they had found marijuana and ‘magic’ mushrooms on his
tour bus during a commercial vehicle inspection.

State District Judge Paul deMahy fined Nelson and Anderson $1,024 each
and put both on six months of probation.

As part of a plea agreement, the citation against Bobbie Nelson was
dismissed, it was reported.

St Martin Parish Assistant District Attorney Chester Cedars said that he
had dismissed the citations against the two drivers because there was no
indication they “had anything to do with the contraband.”

Word that Nelson was in St Martinville quickly spread, and a large group
of fans gathered outside to wait for the entertainer after his brief
court appearance. Nelson obliged, shaking hands, signing scraps of paper
and posing for photographs.

“Thank y’all,” he said, waving as he climbed into a waiting car.
