A quick fix all around.

He’s a smoker, a joker, and now a confirmed midnight toker. The Star Magazine is reporting that prematurely-gray American Idol contestant Taylor Hicks spent some time in an Alabama jail cell after being arrested for marijuana possession back in his college days.

Which probably comes as no real surprise to anyone. Taylor was 21 years old and attending Auburn University when the incident took place. He was stopped by a state trooper for a traffic violation, a charge that escalated to a more serious level when the officer smelled marijuana coming from the car. Upon investigation, the trooper found a pipe in the glove compartment and, after a more detailed search, the drug itself both near the passenger seat and in a backpack inside the car. Taylor was charged with misdemeanor counts of both possession of marijuana and related paraphernalia and was brought to the Macon County Jail. He was released later that afternoon after posting a $500 bond. While Taylor was required to appear in court, the charges against him were ultimately dismissed for "want of prosecution" and his record remained untouched. Just like Justin Guarini’s debut album.
