Willie Nelson was released on bond a short time after being charged when 6 ounces of marijuana was allegedly found on his tour bus at a border checkpoint west of El Paso, Texas in the early hours of Friday (11/26).  A Hudspeth County Sheriff involved in the case said that Nelson acknowledged the pot was his after the stop and search.  Willie posted $2,500 bond and was free to resume the trip back to his ranch outside of Austin by early afternoon. Nelson faces a possible 80 days behind bars if convicted.  The Sheriff, Arvin West, said the Sierra Blanca checkpoint averages between 10 and 15 drug arrests daily and defended his arrest of Nelson by saying, 'It's kind of surprising, but, I mean, we treat him like anybody else.'
