Art Garfunkel Charged With Pot Possession

Thursday, January 22, 2004

HURLEY, N.Y. ? Art Garfunkel (search), part of the folk music duo Simon and Garfunkel (search), was charged with marijuana possession after police pulled his limousine over for speeding in upstate New York.

Garfunkel, 62, had a small amount of marijuana in his jacket pocket when a state trooper stopped the limo Saturday afternoon in Hurley, 55 miles southwest of Albany (search), the Daily Freeman of Kingston reported.

The trooper smelled marijuana after approaching the vehicle, in which Garfunkel was the lone passenger.

Garfunkel, of Manhattan, was scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 28 on the charge, which carries a possible $100 fine, or he could respond by mail.

A representative for Legacy Recording, Garfunkel's New York-based record label, did not immediately return a phone call Wednesday.

Garfunkel completed a U.S. concert tour with Paul Simon last fall, their first in 20 years. The duo, who have been inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame, produced a string of hits in the 1960s, including "The Sounds of Silence," "Mrs. Robinson," "Old Friends" and "The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)."

Well I'm sure this wasn't the first or the last time.

Shocking. He seemed so down to earth. I never would have suspected that an old dried up hippy might be using WEED! *gasp*

This article made me laugh my ass off.

I bet they would make a bigger bust if they pulled over "ludicris" in his Limo

I always smile when I see Art Garfunkel standing next to his son.

Only $100? That's an outrage, this calls for no less than 5 years in prison! My God, pot, I mean he could've ran over a kid at a drive through window, let a kid drown in a pool, or forgotten to pick up his brother from soccor practice.

Lest anyone be shocked that a former hippy is still smoking pot-
The giveaway should be his hair-

Anyone who'd keep that hairstyle for 30 years is obviously higher than a giraffe's pussy on Mars-

I love Simon and Garfunkel! The Weed didn't surprise me. They were from the 60's.

bopha · 01-22-2004, 12:58 PM

He should get a pass on that just for co writing Bridge over Troubled water.

Simon and Garfunkle are great.

It was funnier when Glen Campbell was drunk on tv. Again no surprise, but really funny.

LOL....

CNN said that the cop had no idea who he was, so Art told him "I'm a celebrity"

No idea if this is true, just what CNN said.

Well actually he couldnt have run over a kid at the drive thru because he was in a limo, not driving.

Someone started the same thread yesterday

And i still think the DELL DUDE getting busted was much funnier.

I wasnt sure if they meant he was the driver or he was the only passenger.

Danny_C · 01-22-2004, 02:47 PM

He's playing with fire.

I'm just glad nobody got hurt... He's lucky he didn't accidentally shoot a friend, or get raped because he was so high he couldn't move, or let somebody's baby fall into a pool because he was high.
