Kenan Thompson's pal arrested for marijuana

We're trying to bring you (mostly) newer faces to The Juice*, so let's try on Kenan Thompson for, ahem, size. The Smoking Gun says the Saturday Night Live staple narrowly escaped arrest Wednesday when New Jersey cops pulled him over for allegedly driving erratically and found a bunch of weed.

Bernards Township police stopped a white Escalade after getting a citzen complaint about the driver, which was Thompson. When the 5-0 got up to the car, the officer smelled the Mary Jane. Passenger Kyle Mosley, who owns the car, handed over a pack of cigarettes with a half-smoked joint.

A search turned up two small baggies of weed and some rolling papers in Mosley's pocket. Luckily for Thompson, Mosely claimed "sole ownership" of the trees, earning him charges for possession of drugs and drug paraphernalia. Kenan got off with careless driving, which is a lot better than the careless acting he's been doing since, well, Good Burger.
