Oliver Stone Cops Plea in Marijuana Bust

Oliver Stone may be fond of telling the stories of courageous rebels who rage against the system in his films, but his personal life is a different story.

The famed director pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor pot possession charge on July 29, according to Los Angeles' City News Service.
Stone was busted at a police checkpoint on Sunset Boulevard May 27 for marijuana possession. The Platoon helmer was taken into custody overnight and released after posting $15,000 bail.

His case was to have been heard in court Wednesday, but Stone had his lawyer enter the plea for him in a moved-up hearing last month. Stone was ordered to pay a $100 fine plus court costs for his bust, per CNS.

While initial reports suggested Stone, 58, may have been intoxicated at the time of his Memorial Day weekend arrest, it appears that the director will not face charges for driving under the influence. | source: Yahoo! News
