Willie Nelson Facing Possible Two-Year Sentence for Pot

UPDATE: Nelson's charge has been dropped to a misdemeanor.

If Willie Nelson’s luck runs out, it could be a while before he’s back on the road again.

The country legend, who has had several run-ins with the law, was arrested last Friday for another drug-related offense. This time, Nelson was detained in Sierra Blanca, Texas for possessing six ounces of marijuana.

The substance was discovered at a security checkpoint after U.S. Border Patrol agents smelled the substance coming from the singer’s tour bus.
