LAFAYETTE, La. (AP) ? Willie Nelson and four others were issued misdemeanor citations for possession of illegal mushrooms and marijuana after a traffic stop Monday morning on a Louisiana highway, state police said.

The citations were issued after a commercial vehicle inspection of the country music star's tour bus, state police said in a news release.

"When the door was opened and the trooper began to speak to the driver, he smelled the strong odor of marijuana," the news release said. A search of the bus produced 1 1/2 pounds of marijuana and slightly more than three ounces of illegal mushrooms.

There were enough drugs to merit a felony charge of distribution if they had been found in one person's possession, state police spokesman Willie Williams said. But all five claimed the drugs as their own and the drugs were not packaged for resale, so each was charged with misdemeanors, he said. All were released after the citations were issued.

Nelson's publicist, Elaine Schock, said she would have no comment Monday.

Also cited were Tony Sizemore, 59, of St. Cloud, Fla.; Bobbie Nelson, 75, of Briarcliff, Texas; Gates Moore, 54, of Austin, Texas; and David Anderson, 50, of Dallas.

Nelson, 73, has recorded songs including "On the Road Again" and "City of New Orleans."

1 and a half pounds? Bloody hell that's a nice stash!

Just shows you though - he's probably been smoking for most of his life and still manages to do his job. I'm surprised about the mushrooms though - who'd have thought a country star would be into psychedelia?!

I'd of thought he was into psychedelia. Any man in his 70's that wears his hair in pigtails and thinks it looks good has to be hallucinating

Pigtails? I thought it was a pony-tail.

Pony-tail - 1
Pig-tail"s" - 2. That's plural.

Surely he hasn't got two? Prove me wrong!!!!!!!!!

Since it was a tour bus I am sure it was "community property" with the lot of them.
