Melissa Etheridge’s tour bus was returning from Canada when it was stopped by Border Patrol agents in North Dakota, TMZ reports. The incident occurred on August 17, and drug-sniffing dogs allegedly discovered marijuana oil on the singer’s bus.
The substance is legal in Etheridge’s home state of California. The Come To My Window singer has been open about her use of marijuana for pain management after her 2004 breast cancer diagnosis, and has even admitted to smoking with her two oldest children, Bailey, 20, and Beckett, 18.
Etheridge was booked for possession and pleaded not guilty. Witnesses say she was in good spirits after the encounter, even smiling for her mugshot.
