    Actor Armie Hammer nabbed in Texas for marijuana

    SIERRA BLANCA, Texas (AP) — Authorities say Hollywood actor Armie Hammer was arrested at a border patrol checkpoint in West Texas after a drug sniffing dog discovered marijuana in his car.

    The 25-year-old, who starred with Leonardo DiCaprio in "J. Edgar," spent about a day in jail before paying a $1,000 bond.

    Arrest records show he had 0.02 ounces of marijuana, three medicinal marijuana cookies and one brownie when arrested Nov. 20 in Sierra Blanca, a few miles from the Mexican border.

    El Paso's district attorney declined to prosecute because a felony requires more than 4 ounces of actual marijuana. The county attorney could pursue lesser charges since the case is going back to the local sheriff, but Hammer's lawyer Kent Schaffer says no charges have been presented.

    Hammer also starred in "The Social Network."

      History will not look favorably on the illegality of and $$$$$$$$ spent prosecuting charges of marijauna possession and use. Someday, our having propagated these practices will lend to our aura of historical caveman-dom. Ooga booga.

      • Jack Wagon 3 mths ago
        It is ILLEGAL because the government, lawyers, judges, police, and jailers make their money from it. They don't bother with break ins and such where they don't collect money....

    • Michael  •  3 mths ago
      Why the Fk was there a "border patrol checkpoint" with drug sniffing Dogs "a few miles from the Mexican border"??? So people just driving down the highway in southern Texas are now subject to stop and (sniff) search. Blatant 4th amendment violation. USA is now officially a police state.

      Watch the SuperBowl and all the commercials for alcohol. It's ok. Get drunk, beat up your wife and kids, no problem. Thousands of people die every year just from alcohol consumption.
      Smoke a doob, go to jail, your life is ruined. Criminal record, can't get work, nevermind that pot has NEVER killed anybody according to the NIH.
      The so-called war on drugs is not only a failure, it is cronyism at its worst.
      Legalize marijuana now!

      Frankly, I wouldn't care if it was heroin what other people put into their own bodies is none of my business. I'm sick of pharmaceutical/doctor monopolies that only serve to extort money out of people while making them rich. Force the people to obtain a prescription from the think of themselves was gods. I don't use drugs, not even antibiotics, but if I wanted to or prefer the privacy and control of medicating myself for an ailment that's my business not yours. I don't have to fill out a form telling god knows who the date my last bowl movement or menses and family history. It's a huge invasion of privacy and in the country we're supposed to have the right to secrecy. We're supposed to have the right to live a life of privacy and seclusion.
