[AGL] deja vue all over again

[Michael Eisenstadt]

SIERRA BLANCA, Texas (AP) - A U.S. Border Patrol spokesman says country
singer Willie Nelson was charged with marijuana possession after 6 ounces
was found aboard 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.

Sheriff Arvin West didn't immediately return a phone message left at his
home Friday, but he told the El Paso Times that Nelson claimed the marijuana
was his. The singer was held briefly a $2,500 bond before being released.

Nelson spokeswoman Elaine Schock declined to comment when contacted via
e-mail by The Associated Press.
