Willie Nelson's arrest in Sierra Blanca, Texas on Friday for marijuana possession could land the country singer in jail for up to two years.

During a routine stop at the Texas border, the border patrol smelled marijuana on the 77-year-old crooner's tour bus which resulted in his arrest. After being held for a few hours, Nelson was released after posting $2,500 bond.

Although officials initially labeled the offense a misdemeanor, if Texas prosecutors can prove the pot weighs six ounces, sources say Nelson could face 180 days to a possible two years in a county jail. In addition to jail time, he could face a $10,000 fine.

This isn't Nelson's first drug-related arrest. He was arrested back in 2006 after authorities found marijuana and mushrooms on his tour bus.
