Fiona Apple Released on Bond After Texas Drug Arrest

Hudspeth County sheriff's office spokesman Rusty Fleming told the Associated Press on Thursday that Apple spent Wednesday night in the county jail in Sierra Blanca. Apple was released Thursday after posting [$10,000] bail.
Country singer Willie Nelson, rapper Snoop Dogg and actor Armand Hammer also have been arrested in Sierra Blanca on marijuana charges.
Fleming said that after the dog alerted the Border Patrol agent, the artist's bus was searched. Police found the drugs in a backpack - about four grams of marijuana and a plastic bag with about four grams of a clay-like substance that tested positive for hashish were stored in a glass container, the sheriff's office said in a press release.
Apple admitted the drugs were hers, the release said.
The Sierra Blanca checkpoint inspects thousands of vehicles daily and sends the county thousands of drug cases yearly.
Apple "had a little tiny amount of pot and hash," Fleming said. While marijuana possession in small amounts is a misdemeanor, the Texas Controlled Substance Act says possession of hashish in any quantity is a felony.
Hashish is a drug prepared with the resin of the marijuana plant. It contains the same active ingredients as marijuana, but in much higher concentrations.
Apple's publicist, Ambrosia Healy, didn't immediately respond to an email request for comment.

WHAT ON EARTH good does it do to throw these people in JAIL? JAIL & PRISONS are for violent or hard card criminals. OR for say-scumbags who steal BILLIONS from innocent victims-like BANKERS. But no-we still throw people in there for smoking pot. How much dumber does America want to look to the rest of the world by doing this? We already have lost credibility in a massive way. This just bolsters that our judgement is WAY the hell off when it comes to just about ANYTHING now.

but you call it a waste of time getting illegal drugs off the street. Wake up people.

Seriously though, what a waste of time. Border control should spend more time dealing with illegal immigrants coming into this country than raiding a B-list singer's tour bus.
druggies tend to support their own.
