Celebrity Justice
You Might Be a Redneck If You're Busted for Pot

Comedian Ron White, who performed with Jeff Foxworthy in the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, was busted today. Once again, they caught Tater Salad.

Vero Beach FL cops took the funnyman into custody for possession of marijuana, under 20 grams. He was also booked on possession of drug paraphernalia.

He was released after posting a $1,000 bond and is presumed to be wearing a wife-beater and cutoff jeans.

78. I read online that "An anonymous tipster told Vero Beach Police detectives an airplane would be landing at 5 p.m. at the city’s airport with a passenger carrying illegal drugs, said Officer John Morrison, spokesman for the Vero Beach Police Department."

What loser narcs on a guy for carrying less than 3 grams of legal medicinal weed from California! Somebody has way too much time on their hands and is either jealous of Ron's success or has some personal vendetta, or both.

Keep up the good work, Ron. Love ya buddy!

82. THATS MY BOY. IT IS REALLY STRANGE THAT THE STATE OF FLORIDA WILL
LISTEN TO SUCH GARBAGE FROM AN OBVIOUSLY DEMENTED SOURCE. IT
SHOWS THAT THEY ARE FIXATING ON RON AND HAVEN'T ANYTHING BETTER
TO DO WITH THEIR TIME.

85. This smells of a set-up... probably one Ron arranged himself. He is a pretty sharp guy and astute businessman, afterall. He had how much pot??? Is that even enough to get a buzz? I guess it's all news to TMZ, but fill me in on something juicy next time... like "Ron White Seen With Latina Hottie," or "Ron White Chosen For Space Mission" - you know, something like that.

86. Oh, Ron! If you had just stayed in Cali where it is legal...

As a pot smoker myself, I know the worst part is not having any. Since my husband got his prescription, I know I can send him out to the 'store' if we run out and can't get ahold of our 'pot pal' Plus, the best part is the these 'stores' often carry edibles that will allow you to medicate when you can't smoke.

Hang in there Ron, we love you! Can't wait for your next comedy tour!

87. All comments were pro pot except for 41, 58 and 64. That's 97.51% or the comments think that busting somebody for less than 20 grams is a joke. And a very expensive joke on the taxpayers part. Not only that, but how many lives have been messed up over the consequences of puffing a little of mother natures gift. If Big business took a honest look at all the benefits it has to offer other than just getting high, it would already be legal. The problem is that anyone can grow or buy it cheaply. With oil based products you must pay the big machine and their not about to change anything that would affect the bottom line. This is pot, not crack, heroine or ice were talking here.

88. What a waste of time! It's 9/11 today ,this country's got bigger fish to fry than Ron White. Thats the problem with this country and it's laws and law makers.

89. You know if this story was on Snoop or any other hip hop artist the comments would be totally different!! They would go..put him in jail..hes a loser and even callin him a n*gger...But now that it is Mr. White...its ok??? TMZ readers are racist! No I don’t think that Mr. White should have gone to jail over such a small amount of weed...and neither should snoop or anyone else at that matter. Why still in 2008 is it ok for a white person to do something that a black person would be treated 10 times worse for doing? Discuss.

90. That's ok Ron, you hang in there buddy. Smoking weed is no big deal. Better that than alcohol or hard drugs. I've been smoking for more that 30 years myself and I love my pot! I hope it's legalized one of these days. All it does is mellow you out. No lingering side effects. No ranting and raving and doing really stupid things like when people drink. Nothing wrong with smokin' weed - it's all good.
