Celebrity Justice
It Wasn't Mary Ann's Mary Jane!

Posted Mar 12th 2008 3:40PM by TMZ Staff

Dawn WellsAs TMZ reported yesterday, "Gilligan's Island" star Dawn Wells was busted with marijuana in her car, but it turns out the pot didn't even belong to her!

Well's lawyer says a third party came forward and claimed full responsibility for the marijuana. We're told the third party was in possession of Dawn's car that day and had left the joints behind.

Her lawyer claims the reckless driving charge was not the result of alcohol, but Dawn fumbling around for the heater control.

Dawn got a five-day jail sentence but it was suspended. She received the standard fine/informal probation for the offense.

1. That's funny, when I got arrested for an open container in my car my friend told the police it was his container. I had not been drinking at all that night, yet they said since it was MY car the open container was in I still had to go to jail and pay a fine.

5. I remember now. Bob Denver was busted for some weed in 1998 when it was mailed to his home in West Virginia. He said that he got it from Wells, but when he went to court he said that he received it from "some crazy fan".

13. #1 I believe you, but those kinds of "laws" piss me off. If I had an open container of beer on a city bus, would
the bus driver have to go to jail?

14. Well, at 69 years of age, let her smoke. She looks great for being that old even if she is high in the photo. Also, she has very nice friends.
