Fiona Apple Was Arrested With Marijuana and Hashish

Singer-songwriter Fiona Apple was arrested for hashish possession at a West Texas Border Patrol checkpoint after a drug-sniffing dog detected marijuana in her tour bus.

Hudspeth County sheriff’s office spokesman Rusty Fleming told the Associated Press on Thursday that Apple spent Wednesday night in the county jail in Sierra Blanca. Apple was released Thursday after posting bail.

In Apple’s arrest, Mr. Fleming said that after the dog alerted the Border Patrol agent, the artist’s bus was searched. Police found the drugs in a backpack about four grams of marijuana and a plastic bag with about four grams of a clay-like substance that tested positive for hashish were stored in a glass container, the sheriff’s office said in a press release.

Apple admitted the drugs were hers, the release said.

Apple “had a little tiny amount of pot and hash,” Fleming said. While marijuana possession in small amounts is a misdemeanor, the Texas Controlled Substance Act says possession of hashish in any quantity is a felony.

Apple’s publicist, Ambrosia Healy, didn’t immediately respond to an email request for comment.
