let\’s not get all jesse jackson. did you not read the story? she was only in jail for 5 days and is on probation for 6 months.
I heard they are never going to let her out but that she\’s been making a bomb out of coconuts and banana peels. \”Maryanne\’s Prison Break\”
I LOVE IT! FREE MARY ANN!!!!!
Don\’t get stuck in a prison cell with Dawn Wells, she will cut you.
I met Dawn Wells several years ago. She was charming, open and friendly, a truly nice person. Let\’s get a gay posse together, dress like the whole Gilligan\’s Island cast, and stage a jail brake! I\’ll bring the coconut cream pie with the file in it. (Dawn\’s own recipe!)
Oh, thanks Pete… I just read your post. Thank god!
I still want to dress up as the Skipper. Anyone want my top bunk?
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.

personally.. i don\’t think any celebrity deserves special treatment if they break the law. you break the law, you pay for it no matter if you\’re some bum on the street or an A list celebrity.
Six months of prison just for possesion of marijuana ? Come on…Independent of her celebrity status it is ridiculous !
I also like the cute buttions.
Let the bitch out of prison and let her smoke what she wants ! She probably need it.
I heard she made a shiv out of a papaya and stuck some redhead and was gong to go to solitary but then she konked her head and woke up as somebody else.
