Willie! Think of your future.

Willie Nelson Cited for Drug Possession

BREAUX BRIDGE, La. — Willie Nelson and several members of his band were issued misdemeanor citations for drug possession early today during a traffic stop in Saint Martin Parish.

The traffic stop was conducted on Interstate 10 near Breaux Bridge.

Trooper Willie Williams says troopers smelled a strong odor of marijuana when the driver opened the bus door.

During a search of the bus, Williams say approximately 1 1/2 pounds of marijuana and approximately 2/10 of a pound of mushrooms were located on the bus.

The 73-year-old Nelson of Spicewood, Texas; 59-year-old Tony Sizemore of Saint Cloud, Fla.; 75-year-old Bobbie Nelson of Briarcliff, Texas; 54-year-old Gates Moore of Austin, Texas; and 50-year-old David Anderson of Dallas, Texas were issued citations for possession of mushrooms and possession of marijuana and released.


I, for one, am shocked and appalled. This is the last thing I would have expected from you, William H. Nelson. You always seemed to have such a good head on your shoulders and now you're throwing away your future to experiment with marijuana.

Don't you know that it's a gateway drug? You were even in that anti-drug movie Half Baked. Did you learn nothing?

I hope this doesn't affect any possible jobs you might apply for. You can't waste away your life living out this dream of becoming a country singer. Face it, Willie. It ain't happenin' for you.

Now, put down the pipe, straighten up and fly right or you'll never amount to anything. Listen to State Trooper Willie Williams when he says there's no hope with dope. A man with a name that ridiculous has to know what he's talking about.

I hear there are some good trade schools you could apply to. And I saw Sally Struthers on TV the other day talking about a career in Gun Repair, Interior Design or Commercial Art. You always liked doodling. Maybe you could look into that.

Just get your act together, man.
