21 September 2012 - Grammy Award winning singer Fiona Apple was taken into custody in Sierra Blanca, for possession of 4 grams of hashish.

The New York-born singer's tour bus was searched by police at a state border checkpoint in the small west Texas town, late Wednesday evening. Apple is by no means the first famous smoker to get busted at the infamous checkpoint. When asked by reporters why so many celebrities keep getting busted at the checkpoint, county judge Becky Dean-Walker answered: "Because they come through with stuff they shouldn't have."

There were seven other people in the vehicle at the time, but they were permitted to carry on, given that Apple had admitted that the drugs were hers. She was held in jail overnight, and released the following morning after posting bail. Due to perform the following night in Austin, organizers posted to the venue's website that the concert has been postponed.
