SIERRA BLANCA, Texas — A U.S. Border Patrol spokesman says country singer Willie Nelson was charged with marijuana possession after 6 ounces was found aboard his tour bus in Texas.

Patrol spokesman Bill Brooks says the bus pulled into the Sierra Blanca, Texas, checkpoint about 9 a.m. Friday. Brooks says an officer smelled pot when a door was opened and a search turned up marijuana.

Brooks says the Hudspeth County sheriff was contacted and Nelson was among three people arrested.

Sheriff Arvin West didn't immediately return a phone message left at his home Friday, but he told the El Paso Times that Nelson claimed the marijuana was his. The singer was held briefly a $2,500 bond before being released.

Nelson spokeswoman Elaine Schock declined to comment when contacted via e-mail by The Associated Press.

At Thanksgiving, I got into a discussion with my mother and grandmother about politics and current events. Eventually Prop 203, medicinal marijuana, came up. I mentioned that I had voted yes on it.

The response surprised me. Both of them believe it is the first step in the downfall of civilization. Of course, right after, they brought out Glenn Beck's latest book and started discussing that

Only had 6 ounces?! He must have been heading back to the ranch to re-up his stash! I think the last time his tour bus was searched there was something like 24 ounces of herb and mushrooms.

He's on tour. You want him to try and find a score at every stop?
