Willie Nelson — $500 Fine In Marijuana Case
Filed under: Willie Nelson, Celebrity Justice
Willie Nelson can breath simple again in Texas — TMZ has learned the singer struck a plea deal in his marijuana case … and will NOT have to do any hard time.
Sources close to Willie tell us … Nelson agreed to plead no contest to misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia … stemming from an thing last year, when cops say they found weed on the singer’s tour bus at a border checkpoint.
Nelson was originally charged with marijuana possession — but the singer worked out a deal with prosecutors in which they agreed to reduce the charge in exchange for a no contest plea.
As part of the deal, Willie has also agreed to pay a 0 fine — and if he can stay out of distress for 30 days, the judge will dismiss the case entirely.
Nelson’s lawyer, Joe Turner, tells TMZ, “Willie is glad to have it all behind him. All was very honest.”
