“If the Texas prosecutors do not reduce the charges, and the marijuana's weight is indeed six ounces, then he is dealing with felony and a potential minimum of 180 days in a county jail and a maximum of two years, with a $10,000 fine,” explained former California-based prosecutor, Robin Sax.
The arrest came after a border patrol officer smelled the substance on Nelson’s tour bus at a checkpoint. After the marijuana was discovered, the braided country music legend and two others were arrested.
Nelson was was held briefly on a $2,500 bond before being released.
