Willie Nelson may evade pot charges with a song

When U.S. Border Patrol agents stopped Willie Nelson’s tour bus in rural west Texas last November, they found several ounces of marijuana onboard. But although Hudspeth County Attorney Kit Bramblett could have made an example out of Nelson — recommending the maximum 180 days in jail and $2,000 fine allowed under Texas law — he suggested a plea deal of $100 instead… plus a courtroom performance by Nelson of his 1975 hit “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain.” “You can bet your ass I’m not going to be mean to Willie Nelson,” Bramblett said.

Maybe they’ll extend the same courtesy to the poor black kid arrested on the street with a dimebag. Ha. Ha ha.
