Montel Williams Busted With Drug Pipe

Former talk show host Montel Williams was busted with drug paraphernalia at Milwaukee's General Mitchell International Airport, according to reports.

While passing through a security checkpoint at the airport on Tuesday, TSA officials found what they believed to be a pipe used for smoking pot. According to TMZ, there was no residue in the pipe.

Williams, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1999, has been a vocal advocate for medical marijuana in recent years, claiming it has been the most effective treatment for his chronic pain associated with the disease.

Williams, who founded the MS Foundation, a research and education-focused non-profit, in 2000, was fined $100 in 2003 when he was caught with similar marijuana accessories at a Detroit airport.

Williams' spokesperson released a statement saying, "He has prescriptions for many different medications for MS. One of the medications he has been prescribed to alleviate his chronic pain is medical marijuana."

After being briefly detained in Wisconsin after yesterday's incident, Williams paid a $484 fine and was allowed to resume his travel.
