E!Online article by Josh GrossbergThe country outlaw is back on the road again after a pot-powered pitstop early Monday. Nelson and several of his band mates received misdemeanor citations for marijuana possession after their tour bus was pulled over in Louisiana. The bust came just two days after Nelson called for the decriminalization of marijuana while stumping for Texas gubernatorial candidate Kinky Friedman.
According to Willie Williams of the Louisiana Highway Patrol, Nelson and crew were traveling along Highway 10 in St. Martin Parish, Louisiana, when they were stopped for a routine commercial inspection. Officers on the scene caught a whiff of something suspicious emanating from the vehicle as soon as the driver opened the door. And BioWillie be damned, a search of the bus turned up about one-and-a-half pounds of marijuana and a small bag of psychedelic mushrooms estimated at two-tenths of a pound.
"No one aboard the bus gave any of our troopers any problems," Williams told E! Online. "When the search was conducted , they were very cordial and...subsequently admitted to being the owners of the narcotics." - complete article
