Snoop Dogg has stood up for his homie, fellow pot head Willie Nelson, over his arrest for marijuana possession. Snoop told a reporter that he was standing by Nelson, saying ‘”leave Willie Nelson the fuck alone. The self styled ghetto king then he’d have no dissin’ of his old skool homies: “realistically you all need sometimes need to back off of certain people and have a certain amount of respect for your elders” Snoop then had a crack at the cop who arrested the music legend, saying “You dumb motherfucker, you stupid motherfucker. If you got a problem with Willie Nelson you got a problem with me.”
In further developments in the case, Nelson has retained the same lawyer, Joe Turner, who successfully defended him on charges of pot possession back in 1994. In a humorous turn of events, Nelson has asked fans on his website to donate to the Hudspeth County Sherriff’s Office’s annual Christmas toy drive – the same Sherriff’s Office that busted him for pot. “For what it’s worth, we appreciate the mention and we’re glad to take any donations for the children of Hudspeth County,” Chief Deputy Mike Doyal of the Hudspeth County Sheriff’s Department said. “We think that’s pretty good.”
He further said of Nelson’s arrest “He had a little bag of marijuana and I would never have dreamed of the coverage it got. Nonetheless, we’ve got a job to do and we’ve got to do what we’ve got to do. We handled it as easily as we could and still do our job. The man’s, what, 77 years old? What are we gonna do to him? He was very cooperative and nice and pleasant to be around.”
