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.
Her friends told the court the pot was not hers and she did not drink that much at her party. Wells plead guilty to reckless driving and was sentenced to 5 days in jail and placed on 6 months probation. In the plea agreement the DUI, possession of drug paraphernalia and a controlled substance were dropped.
This is not the first time her name and pot have gone together. About ten years ago there were rumors that she ordered two packages of pot, one for her and one for her Gilligan's Island co-star Bob Denver according to Friends of Cannabis. Wells was never linked to pot and never charged.
No wonder they never wanted to leave the Island, it sounds like it was a lot of fun!
BTW I love her mug shot.
