Willie Nelson Looks A Bit Haggard In His Mug Shot

Willie Nelson posed for this mug shot following his arrest Friday morning on pot possession charges. The image was released today by the Hudspeth County Sheriff’s Office.

Nelson, 77, was collared after his tour bus was searched at a Border Patrol checkpoint. Nelson, who was en route to his home in Austin, claimed ownership of the six ounces of marijuana found on the bus, according to investigators.

After being booked into the county jail, Nelson was freed after posting $2500 bond. He faces up to six months in jail if convicted of the drug charge.

[As for why the height chart on the wall appears to be inverted, it seems as if a setting on the digital mug shot camera needs to be adjusted.]
