It ain't over folks. A judge has refused to approve a plea deal that reduces Willie's drug charges - you'll recall Willie was arrested on suspicion of possession last November after the border patrol thought they smelled pot on his bus. Willie's deal allowed him to plead no contest to a reduced charge of misdemeanor possession of drug paraphenalia, and pay a $500 fine and $280 in court costs.
Last Friday County Judge Becky Dean-Walker admitted she signed that deal and then changed her mind and scratched her name out. She feels he deserves a tougher sentence, saying, "I'm not going to be guilty of signing something because someone is a celebrity...Everybody should be treated the same in my court."
So now the case is still pending.
I'll keep you up to date.
