"Social Network" star Armie Hammer -- who played both Winklevoss twins in the movie -- was arrested in Sierra Blanca, Texas for marijuana possession ... the same small town where both Willie Nelson AND Snoop Dogg were busted for pot in the last year.
A drug-sniffing dog did the detective work, and allegedly found 3 medicinal pot cookies and 1 brownie. The incident occurred on November 30.
We're told this occurred at a border patrol checkpoint.
Hammer spent 1 day in jail before bailing out on a $1,000 bond.

So lame, Texas is such a sh*tty state with a bunch of redneck idiots. Who cares if someone smokes weed, it is not a big deal.

I agree with a previous poster! Who cares about pot? Why don't we focus on arresting rapists and murderers the real bad guys.

This isn't really the city busting all these people. There is a quasi-constitutional free zone between the border and any point 50 miles north of it. Border patrol sets up "check-points" to make sure no riff raff has slipped through. The Border patrol is looking for the big fish, the people smuggling people and hundreds of pounds of drugs. Dogs do not discriminate on how much pot they detect. When the agents find people like armie/willie/snoop/joe shmoe, they either decide to turn them over to the local authorities (since the federal government doesn't prosecute little pot cases) OR they occasionally let them go.

I've enjoyed his grand dad's art collection (The Armand Hammer Collection, not to be confused with the baking soda).
