BOISE, Idaho, March 11 (UPI) -- The actress who played Mary Ann on the U.S. s
com "Gilligan's Island" was arrested after police pulled her over and found
marijuana in her car.
Dawn Wells, 69, was pulled over in Teton County, Idaho, for swerving and
repeatedly speeding up and slowing down after her birthday party last October
TMZ.com reported Tuesday.
Police said they recovered four half-smoked joints, as well as two small case

last month to five days in jail, fined $410.50 and placed on six months
unsupervised probation, TMZ.com said.
Idaho's KIDK.com said Wells was initially charged with Driving While
