Willie Nelson on drugs charge

Country music star Willie Nelson and four others were issued misdemeanour citations for possession of narcotic mushrooms and marijuana after their tour bus was stopped on a Louisiana highway, state police said.

"When the door was opened and the trooper began to speak to the driver, he smelled the strong odour of marijuana," police said.

A search of the bus produced 675 grams of marijuana and 10 grams of narcotic mushrooms.
