Unfortunate timing for Willie Nelson has resulted in the country music icon being busted for possession of marijuana again.
 
According to police, Nelson, 77, was traveling from California to Texas Friday around 9 a.m. when an officer at a checkpoint stop smelled an odor coming from the icon’s tour bus. Authorities found six ounces of marijuana after they searched Nelson’s bus.
 
The 10-time Grammy winner was arrested in 2006 and charged with a misdemeanor when authorities in Louisiana found 24 ounces of marijuana and mushrooms on his bus.
 
Three were arrested in Friday’s incident. Nelson posted a $2,500 bond before being released. The names of the others were not released.
 
Representatives for Nelson declined to comment.
