DRIGGS, Idaho [AP] - 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.

At her trial, Dawn Wells was reported to have said "If you had to explain to your grandchildren that you had spent all those years pretending Bob Denver was funny, You'd Smoke Too!"

Hey good for her she got away right...cop a plea...reckless driving..a coupla hundred bucks later...cool...

Looks like that face was road hard and put away Dry...not aging very well dear...

She doesn't look bad for a 70 year old women .......  klc

she don't look good either.. 8) ;D

Hmmm,

I guess Bob Denver was telling the truth a few years back, when he got busted for having weed, and claimed Dawn Wells was the one who supplied it to him.  At the time, a lot of people thought he was lying.

Marihoochie preserves the body as you can see in her pic. "They" ought to legalize the stuff. It has a lot of medicinal purposes for folks with HIV and Chemo.

Is that better? I know what I would have been doin' on that island. (and it has nothing to do with coconuts. :P )

Enough real crises in this country that need to be addressed, and they waste taxpayer money on crap like this!

Yea.. pretty soon anyone with children will have to decide which holds precedence..A McDonalds happy meal or a gallon of gas.. 8) imagine that...

Hey all you need to do is drink tap water and get all kinds of good drugs....till your probe falls off

No one ever looks their best in a police booking photo.

Ur right, Bill. BUT... she sure looks happy !! ;D

I'm happy that Mary Jane, 'er Ann, is still alive and smiling. So many of the TV stars of those days aged much worse than she, with depression, alcoholism, etc. Something to do with stardom. Now take us hams for example, we are one happy bunch, but we haven't aged well. Something about having donuts and sitting in front of a radio too long?

Mary Ann was playboy playmate before hitting the airwaves if I'm not mistaken.  Imagine the stereotypical ham being a playmate? I shudder thought, old or young.  Egad.

I guess that would depend on which way that ham's monkey swings ...

(Sorry, I couldn't resist).
