Jimmy Buffett Busted For X in France
October 6, 2006 at 12:43 PM | 0 Comments
He may have flown in on a private jet, on route to St. Tropez, but easy-breezy Jimmy Buffet found himself in a bit of a bind at Toulon-Hyères International Airport in the South of France this week.
Though we wouldn't call him a rock star, Buffett's reported bust was quintessentially rock 'n' roll--over 100 ecstasy pills were found in the luggage. Oops! French officials seized the club drugs and sent Buffet on his way with a measely $380 fine.
Back in the U.S. he would have been fined up to $100,000 and could have faced jail time. But luckily for him, the French seem to consider Ecstasy a lesser drug. Either that or they really like that song, "Cheeseburger in Paradise."
Note to Jim: cancel your trip to Bali; do not ask Dallas Austin for tips on Dubai.
