Willie Nelson Spared The Joint

Willie Nelson and his tour manager, David Anderson, got off easy yesterday after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor count of marijuana possession in St. Martinville, La.

Neither will serve jail time for their crime. Nelson and Anderson were fined $1,024 each and put on probation for six months. As part of a plea agreement, the citation against Bobbie Nelson was dismissed.

Nelson, Anderson, Nelson's sister, Bobbie Nelson, and two drivers were issued citations on Sept. 18 after state troopers said they found pot and magic mushrooms on the tour bus during a commercial-vehicle inspection on Interstate 10.

St. Martin Parish Assistant District Attorney Chester Cedars said he dismissed the citations against the two drivers because there was no indication they "had anything to do with the contraband."
