Authorities say actor Armie Hammer was arrested at a border patrol checkpoint in West Texas after a drug sniffing dog discovered marijuana in his car. The same checkpoint, crazily enough, where Willie Nelson AND Snoop Dogg got popped.

The 25-year-old J. Edgar star spent about a day in jail before paying a $1,000 bond.

Arrest records show he had 0.02 ounces of marijuana, three medicinal marijuana cookies and one brownie when arrested in Sierra Blanca, near the Mexican border.

El Paso’s district attorney declined to prosecute because a felony requires more than four ounces of actual marijuana. The county attorney could pursue lesser charges.

Hammer’s lawyer Kent Schaffer says no charges have been presented. Likely Armie will merely be fined and sent on his merry, unreasonably handsome way.
