DRIGGS, Idaho (AP) -- 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.

very especially considering the fact that at once upon the time the sight of her and Ginger on the tube gave me a boner . lots of years ago

I think that article has a miss-print....instead of Spud fest....should read: organizer of the Annual Bud Fest

I loved MARY ANN!!! Ginger was okay, but such a tease!!! and yes, her being that old does make me feel old too!!



Rick

A woman alone picking up hitchhikers? A likely story.

Whilst were on the subject , lets take a quick survey- how many of you can sing the whole theme song from Gilligans Island , getting all the words right (WITHOUT looking up the lyrics on the internet) ?


If so I dare you to sing it out loud where you are right now

UH, I know it, but damned if I'm gonna sing it out loud at work, they'll cart me off......................

I'll bet she's still hot. Wow, 69 and Mary Ann- If this was 1975, that'd sound kinda like a Reeces Peanut Butter Cup. Two good things that go together...

Mary Ann over Ginger any day!

Absolutely Mary Ann over Ginger!!!!!!! No contest!

I guess she shoulda stuck with the Radioactive Carrots...

I took a 12 hour road trip with no radio. I ended up singing Gillegan's Island among many other stupid frikkin' songs to get through the night!

Yeh Gilligan was stoned the whole time they filmed the show

At least Arnie still has the guns.

Anyway, I have heard he's hitting the gym hard again...he was inspired by Stallone. Schwartzie is filming "Kindergarten Cop II" right now, and is teaming up with Sly for "Stop...Or My Mom Will Shoot Again".

No way, Ginger knows what it's all about.

Despite being a farm girl and knowing the biology and mechanics, she's a good girl and there's no way you're getting past first base.

And she'll slug you if you try.


Ginger gets the backstage pass, Mary Ann waits by the stage door.
