Title: Judge rejects Willie Nelson plea deal in Pot case

AP – 3 hrs EL PASO, Texas (AP)

— A judge has rejected a plea deal that would have resolved Willie Nelson's marijuana possession case in West Texas with a fine, saying the country singer shouldn't get what she considers special treatment.

Nelson was arrested in November after a Border Patrol agent said 6 ounces of marijuana were found on Nelson's tour bus.

Hudspeth County Judge Becky Dean-Walker told The Associated Press on Wednesday that she rejected prosecutor Kit Bramblett's suggestion that Nelson resolve the case by pleading guilty and paying a $500 fine for possession of drug paraphernalia.

Dean-Walker claims the prosecutor "doesn't do that for anybody else."

The judge says Nelson should be charged with the misdemeanor marijuana possession, which carries up to a year in jail.

Bramblett didn't return a call Wednesday. Nelson's publicist declined comment.

Didn't know 6 whole ounces of pot is a misdemeanor?

Yeah, it is a shame.

Pot is ok, but stay away from crack, unless you can manage it socially...

OMG you would think by now Willie would not transport pot on the tour bus with him!! A better idea would be to have it waiting for him at his next stop. You can get real good shit in Anytown USA! Ah well wtf thats the chance he took for a happy time. Possible side effects ~ getting busted!

I think it's illegal to have six ounces anywhere.
