Art Garfunkel was busted Saturday for a little �hazy shade of winter�, e.g. pot possession.  He wasn�t going to Scarborough Fair for a bit of parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme, but it does appear that he was partaking of herbal refreshments.  

Police pulled over a limousine for speeding at approximately 12:20 p.m. on Saturday in Hurley, New York (about 50 miles southwest of Albany.)  The officer reportedly caught a strong whiff of marijuana coming from the back of the limo, where he discovered the sole passenger, Art Garfunkel. 

The officer searched the vehicle, Garfunkel, and the driver and found a small amount of marijuana in the singer�s jacket. 

Garfunkel was charged with possession of marijuana, and is scheduled to appear in court on January 28th (although, he doesn�t have to appear in person. He can have an attorney appear in his place or answer the charge by mail). If convicted he faces a $100 fine. 

Garfunkel recently reunited with Paul Simon for a reunion tour of their chart topping group Simon and Garfunkel.
