Willie Nelson band members to pay $25 fine

KENANSVILLE, NC (WWAY) — Members of Willie Nelson’s band cited for having marijuana and moonshine will pay a fine that’s less than the cost of tickets to the cancelled concert in January.

Three members of the band pleaded guilty today to disorderly conduct charges and will pay a $25 fine, while marijuana and moonshine charges were dismissed, according to a Greenville TV station. Alcohol charges against three other band members were dismissed. Investigators say it turns out the moonshine belonged to the former owner of the tour bus.

Today’s plea deal came more than three months after six band members were cited prior to a show in Kenansville.
