The Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office in Wisconsin has confirmed that former talk show host Montel Williams was issued a citation for possession of drug paraphernalia at General Mitchell International Airport on Tuesday.
Williams was caught by TSA with a pipe commonly used for marijuana while going through a security checkpoint, a sheriff's spokesperson said. He paid the citation of $484 and was released to resume his travel plans.
Williams suffers from multiple sclerosis and is a prominent advocate for legalizing marijuana for medicinal purposes.

It says he suffers from MS. He just ADVOCATES the use of the drug. Does'nt say he actually uses it. $474 FOR haviing PIPE ONLY. Don't paint this man to look like you.
Do you need an extra 484 dollars before payday? Money Mutual can help you Montel!
Now we know Montel is on other 'juice' besides the juice he drinks pitching his juicer on TV.
Legalize it!
Geez. Get off the poor guys back. I haven't toked in 22 years and wouldn't even if it were legal. But still I say. . .
Legalize It.
What I want to know is how TSA knew it was for marijuana. You can buy those pipes all over my state in smoke shops. They have signs in the stores stating that they are for tobacco and will not sell them to you if they suspect you are going to use for something else (Not that they actually enforce that rule). Did TSA test it for pot? Unless he actually had pot on him they really can't do a damn thing. Makes me wonder if they stop everyone who has a pipe of any kind.
Add an indicator for cannabinoids...
He was a Navy SEAL not a marine.
Come to Colorado, Montel. Here you and your pipe will be welcomed with open arms. We have more MMJ shops than Starbucks in Denver.
Using marijuana and carrying paraphernalia is ripping the fabric of our society. Just ask the people who prosecute the horrible crimes against humanity; they usually gather at your local bar for happy hour.
LOL ...what a friggin rocket scientist!!!.......Oh BTW....BaBa Booey BaBa Booey ......Howard Sterns Penis!!!
Montell Williams has gone public with his illness, and he has had it for awhile. This man served his country in the Navy for many years. He served with distintion while in the service. He served his community, and the country with his talk show. He worked with people to help them obtain drugs they needed but could not afford to purchase. The bus drove around the country. So tell me why it has to be publized and to embarasse this man. The police okay possibly had to issue a fine, but he should have a n ote from his doctor which allows him to smoke. Still the media had, has no damn business exploting this man.
What's he doing hanging out in some sh!thole like Milwaukee, Wisconsin anyway?
well im trying damn hard 2 see what being a marine has 2 do with this? are marines not human or what? and god gave us marijuana 4 a reason and if it helps medical probs who are we to judge? i think there are 2 many fools who maybe aughta try a hit lol
Montel, for God's sake buy another $5 pipe when you land! They are everywhere... But then again it is why they call it "Dope".
He was on his way to a Miley Cyrus BYB party...bring your own bong!
