Bob Marley Son Busted
with Big Marijuana Joints
TALLAHASSEE, Fla.
(Reuters) - Police in north Florida arrested two sons of the late
Jamaican reggae star Bob Marley on marijuana possession charges
after finding several "big marijuana joints" in a car in which they
were riding, officials said on Thursday.
Julian Ricardo
Marley, 26, and Stephen Nesta Marley, 29, of Miami, were charged on
Wednesday after police stopped a speeding Mercedes-Benz on a highway
near Tallahassee, the state capital, police said.
"I walked up to the
driver's door and smelled a strong odor of marijuana," said Florida
Highway Patrol Sgt. Hugh Cutchen. "In searching the vehicle we found
eight big joints of marijuana."
One of the
marijuana cigarettes was in a jacket owned by Julian Marley and the
others were found under the passenger seat where Stephen Marley was
sitting, Cutchen said.
Stephen Marley was
charged with possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia
including rolling papers. Julian was charged with possession.
The brothers, who
are reggae musicians and were returning home from a concert in New
Orleans, posted bail and were released from jail, Cutchen said.
Bob Marley, who
died of cancer in 1981, was a marijuana user. Ganja, as it is known
in his native Jamaica, is considered a sacrament in the Rastafarian
faith and Jamaican lawmakers are considering a move to decriminalize
its use in small quantities
