Fiona Apple Spends The Night In Jail On A Drug Possession Charge, Then Gives Cryptic Public Statement
Grammy winning artist, Fiona Apple, spent last night in jail after a drug possession charge.
Fiona Apple, the Grammy Award winning artist, was charge with drug possession after her tour bus was searched at a border checkpoint in Texas Thursday night. She spent the evening in jail.
According to Reuters, "Apple, 35, was taken into custody in Sierra Blanca, the same small west Texas town where authorities previously nabbed singer Willie Nelson, rapper Snoop Dogg and "The Social Network" actor Armie Hammer on drug charges."
It seems like the town of Sierra Blanca has it out for celebrities.
According to the spokesman for the sherif of Hudspeth County, where Sierra Blanca is located, Apple had 4 grams of hashish, a form of cannabis, in her possession.
The spokesperson also said that Apple admitted that the drugs were hers, and that the seven people on the bus had permission to be there. However, she did become nervous when the police informed her that she would have to stay in jail overnight, and understandably so. But her one night stint in jail passed "without incident."
But, the next day in a concert at Houston, Apple said some rather curious things about the incident:
"Now, most of the people were very nice to me. There are four of you out there, and I want you to know that I heard everything you did. I wrote it all down with your names and everything you did and said stupidly thinking that I couldn't hear or see you. I then ripped the paper up, but not before I encoded it and- I got two lock boxes. We'll call them "holding cell one" and "holding cell two". In "holding cell one" is the encoded version of the shit that you did that I know was inappropriate and probably illegal. In "holding cell two" is the decoder. I'm the only one who holds the key, and you and I will be intimate forever because I will hold that secret forever. Unless of course the celebrity that you had so much interest in but you wanted to accuse me of bringing up while you laughed at me all night? Unless you're interested in being a celebrity, I'll make you fucking famous any time you ask and I'll open those boxes. So why don't you stay in your fucking holding cell?"
I won't pretend to understand what that means, but it seems like there was something rather sketchy going on when this entire ordeal when down. Got any idea what Fiona's talking about? Let us know in the comments section below.
