TMZ reports that Fiona Apple was arrested in Texas yesterday (9/19) for possession of hash. She’s currently beind held at Hudspeth County Jail.

If all goes well, Fiona will return to the NYC area for multiple shows in October. Meanwhile she’s scheduled to play the Moody Theater in Austin tonight. UPDATE: Tonight’s show is sadly postponed

Free Fiona! UPDATE: she is actually free at least.

Apple spent the night in the Hudspeth County Jail, and was ordered released this afternoon on $11,000 bond.

Apple was arrested at the same checkpoint where Willie Nelson, Snoop Dogg, and ‘J. Edgar’ actor Armie Hammer were arrested on similar charges. What does Dean-Walker think of all of the celebrities being arrested in her remote county, which is in the Big Bend between San Antonio and El Paso?

“I think the reason we’re catching so many celebrities there is they are going through there with stuff they shouldn’t have,” she said. [WOAI]

Legalize it!
