ON YOUR RADAR: Celebrity Mug Shot Hall Of Shame
1. Country music legend Willie Nelson was arrested in November at a Border Patrol checkpoint in Sierra Blanca, Texas, after officials seized six ounces of marijuana from his tour bus. The 10-time Grammy winner was traveling California to Austin when he was detained by Border Patrol agents. It's not the On The Road Again singer's first run-in with the law, as Louisiana authorities found about a pound-and-a-half of marijuana and mushrooms on his tour bus in 2006. "It's a matter of time, a matter of education, a matter of people finding out what cannabis, marijuana is for, why it grows out of the ground and why it's prescribed as one of the greatest stress medicines on the planet," Nelson said in a 2008 interview.
