Bret Michaels' Tour Buses Reportedly Busted for Drugs by Police

Quantities of marijuana and other controlled substances were discovered Wednesday night (July 21) on two vehicles carrying the former Poison singer, his band and road crew across America for the singer's 'Roses and Thorns' tour.
After a routine stop to check a tail-light in DeKalb County, Ind., police conducted searches of both vehicles where sniffer dogs alerted their handlers to the presence of drugs, reports the News Sentinel. No one was arrested, but charges have been forwarded to DeKalb County Prosecutor's Office.
In a statement reported by WENN, Michaels' publicist said, "No arrests were made. Mr Michaels allowed an open search of the buses and everything was handled in a professional manner."
The incident comes on the back of Michaels' recent much-publicised hospital stays. As previously reported by Spinner, the singer suffered a near-fatal brain haemorrhage in April, while in May he succumbed to a what his doctor referred to as a "warning stroke" which in turn led to the discovery that Michaels has a hole in his heart.

Weren't we all referring to "The Law," being at issue, here? Then, let's not confuse the antics, under color of law, of the sweathog, sadism, we see in the news, and, the promise of beatings by jackbooted Gestapo, in police shows, with actual law, lest we be compelled to consider case law, which states: "Because police officers can lie with impunity, they, therefore, do not make credible, witnesses..."... I have no problem with these demented souls, pulling me over, despite the excuse; I enjoy ruining their day... No offense to the good guys; they, know who they are, and, are not pansydriven to do their mating ritual, with men... notice how they just have to touch men, and, do their quasisodomy pileons; a real man would be embarrassed...

Ok,medical marijuana IS legal in Calif. although it may not be in other states. I am sure he had drugs in his bus because he is a DAIBETIC, HAS HEART PROBLEMS, STROKE ISSUES, AND all the effecs that goes with those problems, like neuropathy. So yea, he prolly did have controled substance in his bus. I know cuz I have diabeties, heart problems and other issues that go with the illnesses. I never was a Poison fan...but I tip my hat to Bret and refuse to bash him for drugs in his bus. He has done a whole lot for the community!

Hey therealdeal- That comment took a really special kind of stupid! Having had 2 brain hemorrhages myself, I can tell you that there is absolutely NO WAY to "fake" one!
Now, if you want to talk about "fake," talk about his hair (or lack thereof).
The drs shaved my head & performed brain surgery both times, & I never gave a crap...I was too busy trying to stay alive. To see him lying in ICU with tubes coming out of his body, & a bandanna on his [bald-ass] head, was nothing short of comical!

Notice how it is always a "Broken Tail light"?
Who goes around breaking them at the parking lot?
Just Wondering.

Well is it any surprise there would be weed on his bus. the saying "party like a rock star" means just that.

There is no evidence to support medically that weed causes cancer.

controlled substances are just prescription's drug's. They could be for his medical condition's. If this stuff were his I am sure he would have been arrested. If they searched the bus obviously they were looking to get THEMSELVES in the new's and it just didnt pan out for the cops. BooHoo
