SIERRA BLANCA, Texas – A U.S. Border Patrol spokesman says country singer Willie Nelson was charged with marijuana possession after 6 ounces was found aboard his tour bus in Texas.

Patrol spokesman Bill Brooks says the bus pulled into the Sierra Blanca, Texas, checkpoint about 9 a.m. Friday. Brooks says an officer smelled pot when a door was opened and a search turned up marijuana.

Brooks says the Hudspeth County sheriff was contacted and Nelson was among three people arrested.

Sheriff Arvin West didn't immediately return a phone message left at his home Friday, but he told the El Paso Times that Nelson claimed the marijuana was his. The singer was held briefly a $2,500 bond before being released.

Leave it to US border patrol to stop a white man from transporting a small amount of weed. When a hispanic has huge amounts of it they are MIA.

While they were giving a pat down to Willie 2500 illegals probably crossed behind them.

As old as he is you'd think he'd have a prescription for it.

drugs are bad mmmkay....

Its a gateway drug. if they didnt stop him, he would be on heroin before you know it. plus it would have made him lazy, and ruined his career.

THANK YOU BOrDER PATROL

THANK YOU AMERICA for Spending our tax Dollars to fight terrah in the form of a weed!

I think the whole weed thing is dumb anyway, but why should he get off when you or me would get in trouble too? No one should be getting in trouble for this but it's just fair. He probably doesn't care anyway lol.
