Mary Ann busted for weed

DRIGGS, Idaho ? Perhaps they should have called her Mary Jane.

A surprise birthday party for Dawn Wells, the actress who played Mary Ann on "Gilligan's Island," ended with a nearly three-hour tour of the Teton County sheriff's office and jail when the 69-year-old was caught with marijuana in her vehicle while driving home.

Wells is now serving six months' unsupervised probation for the crime. She was sentenced Feb. 29 to five days in jail, fined $410.50 and placed on probation after pleading guilty to one count of reckless driving.

The guilty plea came as part of an agreement with prosecutors in which three misdemeanor counts ? driving under the influence, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of a controlled substance ? were dropped.

The case began the night of Oct. 18, when Teton County sheriff's Deputy Joseph Gutierrez arrested Wells as she was driving home from a surprise birthday party. She posted $4,000 bond and was arraigned on the charges the following day, pleading not guilty. A trial on the matter was scheduled for March 13, but was canceled because of the plea agreement.

According to the sheriff's office report, Gutierrez pulled Wells over after noticing her swerve across the fog lines and center lines of State Highway 33 and repeatedly speed up and slow down.

"I exited my patrol vehicle and immediately was able to smell a strong odor of burning marijuana," Gutierrez wrote in his report. "As I approached the vehicle I noticed all four window (sic) of the vehicle were lowered and the female driver was not wearing a jacket."

When Gutierrez asked why he could smell marijuana, Wells reportedly told him that she'd just given a ride to three hitchhikers and had dropped them off when they began smoking something. When Gutierrez searched the car, he found three half-smoked joints in the ashtray and console, according to the report. A second search after Wells' arrest netted a fourth half-smoked joint and two small cases used to store marijuana, Gutierrez said.

After Wells failed a field sobriety test, she was handcuffed and taken to the sheriff's office.

Wells' attorney, Ron Swafford, of Idaho Falls, told the Post Register that a friend of Wells' voluntarily testified that he'd left a small amount of marijuana in the vehicle after having used the vehicle that day, and that Wells was unaware of it.

Swafford said several witnesses were prepared to testify that Wells had very little to drink at the party and was not intoxicated when she left. He said she was swerving on the road because she was trying to find the heater controls in her new car.

Wells is the founder of the Idaho Film and Television Institute in Driggs and the organizer of the region's annual family movie festival called the Spud Fest.

Ginger or Mary Jane?

Its medicine.
She suffers from ptsd after all those years on the island.

I must admit, this might have changed my vote in the most important contest of my youth.

In 1998, Denver was arrested for having a parcel of marijuana delivered to his home. He originally said that the parcel had come from Dawn Wells (who had played "Mary Ann" on Gilligan's Island) but later refused to name her in court, and testified that "some crazy fan must have sent it". The police reportedly found more of the drug and related paraphernalia in Denver's home. He pleaded no contest and received six months probation. [1] [2]

I have absolutely nothing against marijuana, and she sounds like a fun lady to hang out with, but please, don't smoke the stuff and then drive. You might endanger others.

most people who smoke then drive tend to be better drivers... much more cautious and paranoid which equates to obeying laws, and seem to get heightened/on-edge and actually have good reaction times.
<--- has been in cars where the driver was high, and also has been in those cars when the driver wasn't high. If the guys I knew are any example, they were a LOT better stoned.

So this is the tale of the castaways,
They're here for a long, long time,
They'll have to make the best of things,
Smoking on a bong.

The first mate and the Skipper too,
Will do their very best,
To ration out the Mary Jane,
In the tropic island stash.

No phone, no lights no motor cars,
Not a single luxury,
Like Tyrone Biggums,
As high as can be.

So join us here each week my friends,
You're sure to get some weed,
From seven stranded castways,
Smokin on "Gilligan's Isle."

 

[Modelworks]

That explains it.
They never got off the island because the professor had developed a way to grow pot inside coconut shells !
Gilligan sabotaged their efforts so him and Mary Ann could light up !
