What a shock!

Sons of Reggae Icon Bob Marley in Florida Pot Bust

>>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 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." <<<

Gee, who would have thought Bob Marley's kids would get mixed up with loco weed?
My favorite part of this story was the cops found "eight big joints."
Now, there are big joints and there are big, Jamaican, raggae-assed, heirs of Bob Marley joints. They must have been HUGE.

The arrest happened in Florida. Perhaps the Marley boys can avoid prosecution and get into rehab with Noelle Bush "for as long as it takes."
Yeah, right.
