Garfunkel busted for pot

As the British government is keen to remind us this week as they reclassify the status of cannabis - it's still a drug, it's still illegal and it's still bad for you. Presumably it's not a campaign to be fronted by Art Garfunkel who has been charged for the possession of marijuana after the drug was found in his jacket pocket when pulled over for speeding just outside New York. The police officer who stopped the car conducted the routine search after smelling the drug. Apparently the officer was unaware who he was arresting until Garfunkel told him he was a celebrity. Garfunkel is due in court on 28 Jan though a legal representative can attend in his place - he shouldn't face more than a $100 fine.
