Chace Crawford arrested for possession - of one joint
If I was to place a bet on which young Hollywood star was going to be arrested for possession, Chace Crawford wouldn’t have even made my top ten list. Kristen Stewart would have been number one, actually - you know it’s just a matter of time before the police come knocking on her door. But Chace? Mister I’m-A-Perfect-Texas-Gentleman? Eh. Of course there were signs that he was a bit more hardcore in real life. He and Ed Westwick were roommates for several years. And Chace dated Shauna Sand. That should prove he’s capable of anything:
Busted. Chace Crawford was arrested early Friday in Plano, Tex. for marijuana possession, UsMagazine.com has confirmed.
The Gossip Girl actor, 24, was cuffed just past midnight in a Nissan parked outside Ringo’s Pub, carrying less than two ounces of the drug.
TMZ reports that the star â€" a native Texan who now lives in NYC â€" was with a friend when cops discovered one unlit marijuana joint.
Bail was quickly posted for Crawford on his misdemeanor charge.
Crawford’s rep had no comment on the incident.
Ironically, Crawford plays a drug dealer named White Mike in the upcoming film Twelve, in theaters July 2.

One joint? POTHEAD! Seriously, one motherf-cking joint? That’s kind of sad that he got busted. Maybe it’s a Texas thing - hardcore cops who will bust a guy over one joint - and he wasn’t even smoking it, it was just in his pocket or his car or whatever. I’m also shocked it’s a misdemeanor - but that’s just my view of Texas. In my mind, they throw you in jail forever over something like one joint. Long-term, though, the pot bust might even help Chace’s image. It gives the pretty boy a sense of danger.

That’s messed up! They couldve took the energy it took to bust Chace Crawford for some pot & channel it into busting a meth lab or something! It does def give him major cool points tho (o__~)

Maybe I’m slightly biased, because in my town possession of small amounts of pot is legal (as long as you’re not caught buying or selling it) - SO WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL?!
He had ONE joint on him. ONE. And all of a sudden his reputation is ruined?

Hang on.
I’ve read he had one unlit joint but two ounces with him.
So, y’know, two ounces. A fair whack.

Oh wait, my bad. Possession under two ounces.
Wow, I’m hungover.

No it was less than two ounces. That’s the law he got busted under “mutual possession of less than two ounces†It means they didn’t know if it was his or his friends so they charged them both!

Either he mouthed off to the cop or he encountered the biggest asshole cop on earth. One joint and he booked him into jail? He had to have said something that really pissed the guy off?

I could care less about pot and all, but hey, at least it is a celeb that gets in trouble just like the rest of us. If I was caught with a joint, I would have been arrested, so it is nice to know that somewhere celeb justice isn’t at play.

Nobody should ever be arrested for pot!!!

I love how he was arrested, but people like Lindsay Lohan walk free. Oh the irony.

Well Michelle, it’s illegal, people know that and when you are in public with it, you run the risk of trouble. Do something to get it legalized if it bothers you so.

**They don’t want to legalize it, because we could grow it in our backyards, and where would the taxes, legal fees they collect come from then?
**Long, one sentence rant.

If they legalized pot across the US, still not everybody is going to be growing it, and they could still tax it.
Maybe he needs to live in California.
It’s still stupid to drive around with it in your car. And if you smoke while driving, that’s really risky on many levels. In addition to being DUI, other people can smell the smoke you blow out your car window in their own cars, even if their windows are rolled up, unless they have their air on recirculate. If you’re going to be a pothead, do it at home.

As a life long resident of Texas, thanks so much for your stereotypical view of Texas law, Kaiser. Once again stereotypes are A-OK when they suit your needs. That’s an offense of some kind anywhere. I think his arrest has more to do with the fact that he was in Plano. If he’d been in Denton he wouldn’t have been arrested. Guess it can’t be his fault at all that he was dumb enough to get caught over something so trivial. Its the cops fault for enforcing the law.

Having driven across the US at least 25 times, I can say from personal experience that there are 2 states where you really do NOT want to encounter cops: Texas and Arizona.

I was born and raised in Plano, still living in the DFW area, and I think that the fact that he was in Plano had a lot to do with it. They’ve always had a drug problem out there with the rich kids, especially heroin, so they take any kind of narcotics seriously. If it would have been a different town it might have been a different story! It just depends on the officer you get no matter where you are!
And yeah, it might have just been one joint, but he was dumb enough to get caught with it. Really? A joint? That’ll teach him to eat the damn thing next time. Hahaha. I’m sorry, I had to.

I’m from Texas - born there, spent most of my childhood there. Austin is the only city in Texas where I feel truly “safe.†Maybe because that’s where I’m from. Now, I really love Texas - but it has one of the scariest judicial systems in the country. So the stereotype fits in this case. Granted, there are plenty of other states where he would have been arrested for possession, regardless of quantity or “intent.â€

Move to the Netherlands. You can smoke marijuana, without police/government caring.
