According to the Associated Press, Nelson, his sister and members of their band were searched on Interstate 10 during a traffic stop in Saint Martin Parish, LA. According to the report, the state trooper, Willie Williams, “smelled a strong odor of marijuana when the driver opened the bus door.” After searching Nelson’s bus, Williams found approximately 1 1/2 pounds of marijuana and approximately 2/10 of a pound of *********. Nelson was issued a citation for possession of ********* and possession of marijuana and released. Nelson, 73, will release his next album, Songbird, on October 31.
