Willie Nelson was arrested in Sierra Blanca, Texas on Friday for possession of six ounces of pot. As a result, the country music legend faces as many as two years behind bars.
“If the Texas prosecutors do not reduce the charges, and the marijuana's weight is indeed six ounces, then he is dealing with felony and a potential minimum of 180 days in a county jail and a maximum of two years, with a $10,000 fine,” explained former California-based prosecutor, Robin Sax.
**SNIP**
Nelson, 77, was arrested with one-and-a-half pounds of marijuana and three ounces of hallucinogenic mushrooms on his tour bus in 2006, and nine years before that, police in Waco, Texas spotted a joint in his car’s ash tray, prompting another arrest.
“Texas is more stringent than California so he could face time. One of the issues that the court and prosecutors will look at is his prior record and given the fact that he has several arrests, even recent ones, for pot related crimes," Sax said. "I would not be surprised if Texas decided to stick it to him."

The hell you say
LLS
Pu-leeze, everyone knows that entertainers don’t experience the same penalties that ordinary ‘peasants’ do.
Talentless,worthless bum.White trash personified.
You don’t really think that liberal hippy actually does drugs, do you? Just look at him . . . oooooooh
Stopping Willie Nelson’s tour bus and searching it for pot just doesn’t seem sporting. I don’t think he had that much dope because he wanted to sell it. I think it was for him own use to smoke. I hope the old guy doesn’t go to jail.
lol
Willie’s a national treasure. I wish him the best.
Free Willie!
I feel safer now.
A willingness to go to Hollywood rehab will get him out of this.
Whatever else one might say about Willie Nelson, he is not “talentless”.
You just make yourself look foolish saying that.
They finally got him. The War on Drugs is won!
He looks embalmed.
Please.....Just like Paris Hilton or Lindsey Lohan was Suppossed to go to jail for their Umpteenth Arrest for Drugs.....
Willie smoked weed on the White House roof:

All his fans can look forward to a half year to two years worth of new prison songs.
Or maybe I’m just being obtuse.
I don't care who you are, that's funny, right there.
