Wavves front man Nathan William was arrested  and jailed for marijuana possession while on tour in Germany on Friday. His tour party was stopped by a police car for a roadside check where a bag of wacky baccy was discovered in his car. William was jailed but soon released on €200 bail.

He says of the incident “We got stopped at a roadside check and I had six bags in the car and they only found one– the fucking dogs never work. I bet it’s high from all the fumes. Anyways, they put me in a cell which was a little nerve-wracking. More so because I was an American in a German jail and not because I have long gay hair. I did wrestle for four years in high school, so I could have fucked somebody up. So yeah, then I gave em €200 and walked out… not a terrible deal. And now I’m getting high again.”

William also revealed on twitter that the arresting Polizei officer had a Metallica patch on his official police jacket. William may like to reconsider keeping dope on him – a band like his that sells weed grinders as part of their merch selection will probably be targeted by bored police in the future.
