'Social Network' Star Armie Hammer -- Arrested for Pot Possession
Filed under: Paul Wall, Baby Bash, Celebrity Justice, Music


Rapper Paul Wall claims he was unfairly targeted by a police officer in El Paso this weekend ... and claims he's prepared to fight his marijuana possession case ... if push comes to shove.

TMZ spoke with Wall's rep ... who tells us cops entered the nightclub where Wall and fellow rapper Baby Bash had performed and told the rappers that their rented van smelled like marijuana. 

The rep says cops searched the vehicle and all of the passengers and found "a filter of a joint, which tested positive for marijuana resin."

We're told Paul was charged with possession of marijuana under 2oz. in a drug free zone -- because they happened to be near a school.

The rep says Paul insists the weed wasn't his ... but adds, "This is truly the vendetta of a singular member of the El Paso County Constable Department and these facts will bear out over time."

"In the meantime," the rep adds ... "if Baby Bash and Paul Wall have to fight this like Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson, they are certainly not in bad company."

Police in Ohio got a tip that someone on Willie Nelson's son's tour bus was carrying drugs yesterday ... but here's the shocking part -- IT WASN'T WILLIE NELSON'S SON!!!

Turns out, Willie's 22-year-old kid Lukas Nelson is also a musician -- and yesterday his band was stopped in Ohio when local police got a tip that someone on the bus was in possession of some weed.

Centerville Police Department Officer Matt Dunn tells TMZ ... a drug sniffing dog was sent to the scene and tipped off police to a suspect ... a member of Lukas' band.

Cops say the band member had a small amount of weed in his possession and he was arrested for misdemeanor possession of marijuana.

As for Lukas -- dude was squeaky clean ... and after cops hauled away the band member, Lukas and his posse were sent along their way.

Lukas' dad wasn't so lucky when cops found weed on Willie's tour bus in Texas last year -- because Willie was arrested ... and the case is still ongoing.

Filed under: Willie Nelson, Celebrity Justice Willie Nelson's fortunes may have changed dramatically ... the guy who's prosecuting him for pot possession is not going along with the judge who wants to nail the singer ... and Willie could walk.




The judge in Wilie's Texas marijuana case rejected a plea deal struck between Willie and the D.A. in which Willie would have paid $500 and the case would have gone away.  The judge felt the deal reeked of celebrity justice so he told them to come up with a stronger punishment -- with a maximum of one year in jail.

But sources connected with the case tell TMZ ... there's a "strong possibility" the prosecutor will not recommend a stronger punishment, but instead just sit on the case until it's dismissed for lack of prosecution.

Call it defiant, but the prosecutor is riding a wave in Texas to treat marijuana possession for what it is ... and not fill the overcrowded jails with recreational potheads.

Filed under: Willie Nelson, Celebrity Justice Willie Nelson once again faces a year in jail over marijuana possession charges -- this after the judge in the case REJECTED a plea deal in which the singer would have gotten off with a $500 fine.




As we previously reported, Willie struck a plea bargain last month in West Texas -- in which prosecutors agreed to reduce his pot possession charge to misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia ... if the singer agreed to plead no contest.

Willie would have only had to pay a $500 fine -- but the judge outright rejected that deal Wednesday ... claiming the singer was getting special treatment.

According to the judge, Nelson should be charged with misdemeanor marijuana possession -- which could put him in jail for a year.

And Willie Nelson may be facing up to a year in jail for weed possession ... but is he getting a raw deal?

Filed under: Willie Nelson, Celebrity Justice Willie Nelson can breath easy again in Texas -- TMZ has learned the singer struck a plea deal in his marijuana case ... and will NOT have to do any hard time.




Sources close to Willie tell us ... Nelson agreed to plead no contest to misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia ... stemming from an incident last year, when cops say they found weed on the singer's tour bus at a border checkpoint.

Nelson was originally charged with marijuana possession -- but the singer worked out a deal with prosecutors in which they agreed to reduce the charge in exchange for a no contest plea.

As part of the deal, Willie has also agreed to pay a $500 fine -- and if he can stay out of trouble for 30 days, the judge will dismiss the case entirely.

Nelson's lawyer, Joe Turner, tells TMZ, "Willie is glad to have it all behind him. Everyone was very fair."
