Willie Nelson can breath easy again in Texas. TMZ has learned the singer struck a plea deal in his marijuana case and will not have to do any hard time.
Sources close to Nelson tell TMZ that the singer agreed to plead no contest to misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia stemming from an incident last year, when cops say they found weed on the singer's tour bus at a border checkpoint.
Nelson was originally charged with marijuana possession, but the singer worked out a deal with prosecutors in which they agreed to reduce the charge in exchange for a no contest plea.
As part of the deal, Nelson has also agreed to pay a $500 fine. And if he can stay out of trouble for 30 days, the judge will dismiss the case entirely.
Nelson's lawyer, Joe Turner, tells TMZ, "Willie is glad to have it all behind him. Everyone was very fair.
 In this Nov. 7, 2010 photo, Willie Nelson performs before the start of the NASCAR AAA Texas 500 auto race at Texas Motor Speedway, in Fort Worth, Texas.

sure, but think about it from The Man's point of view
locking him up would stir up more of a media frenzy than what it's worth
wasn't this the arrest that pushed him to create the tea pot party or whatever?
they'd much rather fine him the $500 dollars and have everybody go all "aw shucks there goes Willie again" than have to deal with a media backlash and rile up the activists
they don't want to create a martyr... well i don't know, they did lock up chong

"Of course, this isn't the first time Nelson has run into trouble with the law. The well-known weed aficionado was also caught in North Carolina with drugs in early 2010.
A few years prior to that, in 2006, Louisiana police found more than marijuana, when Nelson's tour bus at the time was reportedly carrying over a pound of Nelson’s on-the-record drug of choice and a small amount of mushrooms "

ya know, I love Willie, but I hate the special treatment people get in America for being famous~
