    'Gilligan's' Mary Ann Caught With Pot

    March 11, 2008, 2:52 PM EST

    The Associated Press

    DRIGGS, Idaho -- Dawn Wells, who played Mary Ann on "Gilligan's Island," is serving six months' unsupervised probation after allegedly being caught with marijuana in her car.

    She was sentenced Feb. 29 to five days in jail, fined $410.50 and placed on probation after pleading guilty to one count of reckless driving.

    Under a plea agreement, three misdemeanor counts — driving under the influence, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of a controlled substance — were dropped.

    On Oct. 18, Teton County sheriff's Deputy Joseph Gutierrez arrested Wells as she was driving home from a surprise birthday party that was held for her. According to the sheriff's office report, Gutierrez pulled Wells over after noticing her swerve and repeatedly speed up and slow down. When Gutierrez asked about a marijuana smell, Wells said she'd just given a ride to three hitchhikers and had dropped them off when they began smoking something. Gutierrez found half-smoked joints and two small cases used to store marijuana.

    The 69-year-old Wells, founder of the Idaho Film and Television Institute and organizer of the region's annual family movie festival called the Spud Fest, then failed a sobriety test.

    Wells' lawyer, Ron Swafford, said that a friend of Wells' testified that he'd left a small amount of marijuana in the vehicle after using it that day, and that Wells was unaware of it. Swafford also said several witnesses were prepared to testify that Wells had very little to drink at the party and was not intoxicated when she left. He said she was swerving on the road because she was trying to find the heater controls in her new car.

    I LOVE Belly dancing, but since I already am pretty good at it I probably would study salsa, especially since my daughter teaches salsa lessons! (My bad leg has to get better first!) I like belly dancing so much. There is a great show called SHIMMY that is on one of the Direct TV channels. It has easy belly dancing lessons and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to try belly dancing.

    From TV news:

    It seems Dawn Wells, the actress who played Mary Anne on Gilligan's Island likes a toke now and then! She was arrested after a cop observed her driving erratically--speeding up and slowing down, and weaving back and forth in her lane. When Wells was pulled over, pot and some partially smoked joints were found in her car. Keep an eye out for this story, y'all gotta see her mug shot!

    that's a tough one lady wiz. if both shows are on the same night, i think i would go see ringo, it could be his last tour and hopefully tom will tour til he ringo's age, and we'll see him again. after all, touring at 57 years old is better than touring at 67!!! i just hope we get to see everybody.

    Good point! Though I've seen Ringo five times, Tom only two.
