Art Garfunkel was busted Saturday for a little
hazy shade of winter, e.g. pot possession. He wasnt going to Scarborough
Fair for a bit of parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme, but it does appear
that he was partaking of herbal refreshments.
Police pulled over a limousine for speeding
at approximately 12:20 p.m. on Saturday in Hurley, New York (about 50 miles
southwest of Albany.) The officer reportedly caught a strong whiff
of marijuana coming from the back of the limo, where he discovered the
sole passenger, Art Garfunkel.
The officer searched the vehicle, Garfunkel,
and the driver and found a small amount of marijuana in the singers jacket.
Garfunkel was charged with possession of
marijuana, and is scheduled to appear in court on January 28th (although,
he doesnt have to appear in person. He can have an attorney appear in
his place or answer the charge by mail). If convicted he faces a $100 fine.
Garfunkel recently reunited with Paul Simon
for a reunion tour of their chart topping group Simon and Garfunkel.
