Country music superstar Willie Nelson was arrested Friday, accused of having about 6 ounces of marijuana on his tour bus when it was stopped at the Border Patrol checkpoint in Sierra Blanca, 85 miles east of El Paso. He posted bond and was released shortly after.

Nelson, 77, was traveling from California to Austin, where he owns a ranch.

Nelson's publicist could not be reached for comment, but no changes were made to Nelson's tour schedule. His next performance was scheduled for 8 p.m. today at the WinStar casino in Thackerville.

Nelson was stopped at the checkpoint about 9 a.m. Border Patrol agents searched the bus and found the marijuana, which Nelson claimed was his, Hudspeth County Sheriff Arvin West said.

Nelson was taken into custody and booked into the Hudspeth County jail. West said Nelson posted a $2,500 bond and was on the road again by 1:30 p.m. Friday.

“He could get 180 days in county jail, which if he does, I'm going to make him cook and clean,” West said. “He can wear the stripy uniforms just like the other ones do.”

Willy needs to sell his ranch, and tell Texas to suck his dick if that's how they're going to treat him.
No more playing shows there either.
Have a big publicity campaign explaining why he did it too.

I hope officer west gets ass raped and beat half to death in the next prison riot.

Unfortunately, these things have to happen in order for more light to be shed on marijuana laws in this country.

It sucks, but it's for the best. I bet Willy knows this too.

Fucking un-American. Arrest a national icon, sacrilege. I bet the pig had his picture with him. I hope he gets publicist on board an takes a stand, but he will prob get time if he does. If he was crossing an int'l border with it then he should know better. Another point for the great state of Texas.

Willie took the hit for everyone else on the bus. There is no doubt in my mind he was respectful, cooperative, kind, soft spoken and had a sense of humor about the situation. He was showing the cops unfamiliar with weed it doesn't make you crazy. We are free to do as we please as long as we accept the consequences. If you read I Ching, you know Willy will embrace the consequences like the Superior Man that he is.
