Any one else see the story about Dawn Wells getting popped for pot?! At 67! The cops harshed her buzz on her birthday nonetheless!

Ooops - probably the wrong place for this, but she did live on a tropical deserted island!

I bet it was for Maui Wowie.

Story:
MARY ANN HAD MARY JANE?
Dawn Wells, who played Mary Ann on “Gilligan's Island,” is serving six months' unsupervised probation after allegedly being caught with marijuana in her car. She was sentenced Feb. 29 to five days in jail, fined $410.50 and placed on probation after pleading guilty to one count of reckless driving.

Under a plea agreement, three misdemeanor counts – driving under the influence, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of a controlled substance – were dropped.

On Oct. 18, Teton County sheriff's Deputy Joseph Gutierrez arrested Wells, 69, as she was driving home from a surprise birthday party that was held for her. According to the sheriff's office report, Gutierrez pulled Wells over after noticing her swerve and repeatedly change speeds. When Gutierrez asked about a marijuana smell, Wells said she had given a ride to three hitchhikers and dropped them off when they began smoking something. Gutierrez found half-smoked joints and two small cases used to store marijuana.

Wells, founder of the Idaho Film and Television Institute and organizer of the region's annual family movie festival called the Spud Fest, then failed a sobriety test.

No wonder Gilligan liked her coconut cream pies so much! :lol:

I hear that since the incident, someone has stepped forward to take the rap for the pot. :roll:
