Willie Nelson JAIL TIME: MARIJUANA BUST SHOCKING DETAILS

By “Bad” Brad Berkwitt

A west Texas judge rejected legendary country singer Willie Nelson’s plea bargain that would have resolved his marijuana possession case with a fine.

Hudspeth County Judge Becky Dean-Walker told The Associated Press Wednesday that she rejected prosecutor Kit Bramblett’s suggestion that Nelson plead guilty and pay a $500 fine for possession of drug paraphernalia, a misdemeanor not punishable with jail time.

Dean-Walker said, “It’s not right simply because he doesn’t do that for anybody else.”

The judge wants Nelson charged with the misdemeanor of possession of marijuana, which could mean up to one year in jail.

This past November at a Border Patrol checkpoint an agent searched Nelson’s tour bus and found marijuana. Nelson was arrested and later released on bail.

This case brings up the old argument that Pot should be legalized and taxed because it is no more dangerous than alcohol or nicotine.
