Dawn Wells aka Mary Ann from Gilligan's Island has been busted for pot.
The bust actually happened awhile ago, but no one noticed because it was Dawn Wells. Ms. Wells was sentenced on February 29 and is now serving six months' unsupervised probation. She was also given five days in jail and fined $410.50.
Wells was originally charged with reckless driving, DUI, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of a controlled substance, but she pled that down to just the reckless driving charge.
Wells was reportedly popped while driving home from her own surprise birthday party. That was some party. They had a pinata, and Dawn smacked it and a bunch of pot fell out.
Dawn's story to the cops after she got pulled over is priceless. She said the reason her car smelled like pot was because she had picked up three hitchhikers and they started smoking something so she made them get out. Unfortunately, the "hitchhikers" left their pot in the car. It apparently made Dawn woozy because she was swerving back and forth before the cop pulled her over. A friend later said the pot was his, and he had forgotten he left it in the car. Dawn's lawyer claimed Dawn was swerving because she was trying to find the heater controls.
Dawn, her lawyer and her friend were obviously all smoking pot when they came up with those excuses.
