It seems like a throwback to another era. Country singer Willie Nelson was charged with pot possession after six ounces were found on 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.
Nelson claimed the marijuana was his and was held briefly on a $2500 bond before being released.
