Nelson, who appeared in Jessica Simpson's video for 'These Boots are Made for Walkin'', has always publicly expressed his support for drug use and has campaigned for the legalisation of cannabis.

At the time of writing, Nelson's spokesman had no information about the arrest.

'Jackass' star Johnny Knoxville recently revealed he had failed to keep up with the country legend, during a cannabis smoking session.

He told Playboy magazine: "When Willie Nelson passes you a joint, you don't say no. I was on Mars for six hours."

Nelson became famous in the 70s for his involvement in the outlaw country movement, which was influenced by jazz, folk and rock music.
