HURLEY, N.Y. Feb. 11 — Art Garfunkel pleaded guilty to marijuana
possession in upstate New York and paid $200 in fines.
The singer's attorney was scheduled to appear in court Wednesday but
instead entered a guilty plea Feb. 4, the Daily Freeman of Kingston
reported.
Garfunkel paid a $100 fine and $100 in costs, court officials said
Wednesday.
Garfunkel, 62, of Manhattan, was charged with unlawful possession of
marijuana after state police stopped his limousine for speeding Jan. 17
in Hurley, 55 miles southwest of Albany.
The trooper who stopped the limo, in which Garfunkel was the lone
passenger, smelled marijuana and found a bag containing 6 grams of the
drug in Garfunkel's jacket pocket, police said.
Garfunkel recently completed a U.S. concert tour with Paul Simon, their
first in 20 years. Simon and Garfunkel produced a string of hits in the
1960s, including "The Sound of Silence," "Mrs. Robinson," "Old Friends"
and "The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)."

And no jail time like Diana Ross or the member of Cheech & Chong???
Marijuana is a controlled substance and illegal!!! Alcohol isn't
illegal. No, he wasn't driving it or tested as positive for it
but he had it in his possession.
Something's wrong w/this picture.
