Troubled Waters for Garfunkel
We're guessing Art Garfunkel's not feeling too groovy right about now.
The curly-haired half of Simon and Garfunkel, who pleaded guilty to marijuana possession last year, was charged again Sunday after a New York state trooper discovered a joint in his car ashtray during a traffic stop.
Garfunkel, 63, encountered the sound of sirens after he allegedly failed to properly stop his car at a stop sign Sunday afternoon in upstate New York, the Kingston Daily Freeman reported.
As Trooper Heath McCrindle approached Garfunkel's 2005 Buick, he "detected a strong odor of marijuana emanating from the vehicle," according to the police report.
"The driver and only occupant of the vehicle identified himself with New York driver's license as Arthur Garfunkel," the police report read. "Subsequent search of the vehicle revealed one marijuana cigarette located in the ashtray."
Garfunkel was issued an appearance ticket and was ordered to return to Woodstock Town Court on Sept. 22.
Police said that Garfunkel was not charged with driving with ability impaired because he may not have been puffing on the joint at the time he was stopped.
No word on what the Manhattan resident was doing in the area at the time of the traffic stop.
The singer's previous weed woes stemmed from a traffic stop in January 2004 in the same district of upstate New York when the limo in which he was riding was pulled over for speeding.
When the officer approached the limo to discuss the matter, he, too, caught a whiff of a distinctive aroma seeping from the vehicle's interior.
Upon further investigation, six grams of pot were discovered on Garfunkel's person. The musician was charged with misdemeanor marijuana possession and wrist-slapped with a $100 fine.
Rather than simply paying the fine and washing his hands of the matter, Garfunkel initially elected to fight the charge for reasons he kept to himself.
However, a month later, Garfunkel decided to face the music and had his lawyer enter a guilty plea. He wound up paying a $100 fine, plus a $100 state surcharge to resolve the matter.
Not that the fines likely put much of a dent in the singer's bank balance. Garfunkel reunited with recording and sparring partner Paul Simon in the fall of 2003 for the duo's Old Friends tour, which went on to become the sixth biggest selling tour of that year, with an average ticket price of about $140.
Banking on the success of the tour's first leg, the twosome returned for a second leg in summer 2004, playing sold-out shows across North America and Europe.
According to his official Website, Garfunkel is scheduled to return to the stage for a handful of U.S. dates between January and March.
