SIERRA BLANCA – The Hudspeth County Attorney is ready to make a plea deal with the Red Headed Stranger.

“I’m gonna let him plead, pay a small fine and he’s gotta sing “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain” with his guitar right there in the courtroom,” County Attorney Kit Bramblett said this week. “You bet your ass I ain’t gonna be mean to Willie Nelson.”

The 6.24 ounces that was found when Willie was arrested is above the amount Bramblett can handle in his jurisdiction. Well, no problem.

“Between me and the sheriff, we threw out enough of it or smoked enough so that there’s only three ounces, which is within my jurisdiction,” Bramblett said.

“Willie Nelson is 77 years old and I’m 78,” Bramblett said. “He’s been my favorite artist all my life. We all know he smokes a little pot.”

Way to go Kit! :applause: :woohoo:

12. I'm glad Willie is not going to jail over this, but I have to wonder

What would the sentence have been if this had been a young, black, anonymous male.

Methinks jailtime would have been in order.

14. That's exactly my thoughts. A celebrity gets a slap on the wrist...

I'm glad Willie isn't going to jail, and I favor some sensible way to decriminalize pot. HOWEVER, it just bugs the crap out of me that a celebrity has an automatic "get of of jail free" card and the rest of us don't.

17. Practice... practice...

13. Uncommon common sense

Republicons everywhere will just need to up their doses of ambien and oxycotin to deal with this outbreak of common sense.
