They Caught the Tater: Comedian Ron White Busted for Marijuana

By "Radical" Russ Belville on September 11, 2008

WRCB Channel 3 Chattanooga News, Weather | They Caught the Tater: Comedian Ron White Busted for Marijuana
Comedian Ron White’s run-ins with the law make up a big part of his act on the popular “Blue Collar Comedy Tour”.

Now he’s got some fresh material.

White was arrested for marijuana possession and possession of drug paraphernalia in Vero Beach, Florida on Wednesday.

Police say an anonymous tipster informed them that a plane carrying a passenger in possession of illegal drugs would be arriving at the Vero Beach Airport at 5 p.m. Wednesday.

White and the pilot were the only ones on board.

Officers say White was carrying less than three grams of marijuana, along with a pipe.

He was arrested and later released after posting $1,000 bond.

Hmm.  You’re traveling alone with the pilot and an “anonymous tipster” knows you’re carrying <3g of pot (less than one tenth of an ounce… I’ve rolled joints bigger than 3 grams!)  Just how “anonymous” could this person be?  He obviously wasn’t popped by TSA at the airport before flying to Vero Beach.  Somebody close to Ron White has it in for him, in my opinion.  An ex-wife, perhaps?

    I actually heard Ron White this morning on 99.5 FM in the Chicagoland area. Ron said it was the pilot that did him in. Evidently he’s some wack-job pilot that has been through a number of jobs recently. Ron was mostly pissed because he was busted for 7/8′s of 1 gram… Ron said he considers himself out of marijuana when he’s got 7/8′s of a gram! The first 10 minutes of his upcoming show in Chicago is going to be about this arrest. Funny guy. He’s not going to let this phase him!
