Dawn Wells Was Drunk not High

Dawn Wells, who played Mary Ann on Gilligan’s Island, was busted with marijuana in her car, but it turns out the pot didn’t even belong to her. Well’s lawyer says a third party came forward and claimed full responsibility for the marijuana. A third party was in possession of Dawn’s car that day and had left the joints behind.

Her lawyer claims the reckless driving charge was not the result of alcohol, but Dawn fumbling around for the heater control. Dawn got a five-day jail sentence but it was suspended. She received the standard fine/informal probation for the offense.

Although a third party claimed responsibility for the marijuana, the Girl Scouts of the Palm Glades Council have cancelled Dawn from speaking at their April 5 luncheon in Palm Beach. Holly Policy, a Scout spokesperson, said, "We didn’t feel it was appropriate for her to speak under the circumstances."

Grandma wasn’t high, she was just drinking and driving, which is a big deal, that authorities only make a big deal, unless a celebrity is involved.
