WILLIE NELSON ON THE ROAD AGAIN AFTER DRUG BUST

SMOKER

COUNTRY legend Willie Nelson may not have Sweet Memories of his drug bust but after striking a plea deal he can get On The Road Again. 
Unsurprisingly given his well known love of the reefer, cops found marijuana on his tour bus last year at a border checkpoint. 
He was originally charged with possession but according to TMZ the singer struck a plea deal in his marijuana case and will not have to do any hard time.

Sources close to Nelson said that the singer agreed to plead no contest to misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia rather than possession which could have seen him end up behind bars. 

A source close to the star revealed: "This works out best for everyone really. Willie is a well known lover of the weed but no one wanted to see him behind bars. 

"So lets just say he's admitted that something was going on, on the bus and now he just wants to put it behind him and move on."

As part of the deal, Nelson has also agreed to pay a $500 fine and if he can stay out of trouble for 30 days, the judge will dismiss the case entirely.  

Nelson's lawyer, Joe Turner said: "Willie is glad to have it all behind him. Everyone was very fair."
